Talking to Your Child About Vaping: A Training for Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers

A new training for parents.

The American Lung Association's course Talking to Your Child About Vaping: A Training for Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers is a free one-hour interactive online learning module designed to help parents, guardians and caregivers talk to their child ages 8 to 20 about vaping and nicotine in the best possible way.

This program will teach participants to:

  • Recognize the signs that your child is using tobacco or nicotine-based products, 
  • Deliver an impactful message in an effective way to prevent or intervene, and
  • Utilize resources for prevention, or to effectively intervene and support a child during the quitting process.

One of the highlights of this learning module is the Parent Investigator – Vapor Trail Game. This interactive game allows participants to search for signs of tobacco use in a child’s bedroom.

Talking to Your Child About Vaping: A Training for Parents, Guardians, and Caregiver also offers three different modules: Overview, Prevention, and Intervention. Users will be able to choose their pathway. If they are interested in just tobacco use prevention, they can choose Module 2: Prevention. If they have already spotted a problem with their child using tobacco products, they can choose Module 3: Intervention. Users can choose to take all modules as well, which we recommend they do.
