Video: What Norwalk Parents Should Know about Vaping (17 min.)
Before COVID, vaping had become very popular among teens and young adults, with close to 1 in 3 young people vaping. In 2019, when EVALI lung disease from vaping sent young people to the hospital, the legal age for vaping was changed to 21. During COVID, vaping decreased further. Our 2021 Norwalk Youth Survey found that 8% of Norwalk HS students and 4% of Norwalk MS students were vaping--less than the 2021 national average, which is good news. However, there are kids who are addicted to vaping and kids who refuse to use bathrooms all day at school because they don't want to be exposed to other people's smoke. Talk to your kids!
