"E-cigarette use among youth has skyrocketed in the past year at a rate of epidemic proportions. Nicotine exposure during adolescence can harm the developing brain, which continues to develop until age 25, and can impact learning, memory, and attention." - U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, Dec. 18, 2018

This event hosted by the Cedarburg School District Parent Engagement Series Steering Committee, included a straight-forward discussion of the significant health and safety issues of vaping. Open to the public, this first in a series of free community events featured keynote speakers Dr. Charlene Gaebler-Uhing and Dr. Louella Amos from Children's Hospital of WI. The evening concluded with a panel discussion with the doctors and Andrew Crisco, Therapist from Roger's Behavioral Health.
