Va**ng puts health at risk. Ni****ne in e-ci******es is highly addictive and especially harmful for youth. Let’s work together in Fulton County to prevent va**ng and support healthier choices. https://teen.smokefree.gov/quit-va**ng
Image Description: FDA advertisement warning about the risks of va**ng, including ni****ne addiction and exposure to harmful chemicals. Transcribed text from the image states: "THE RISKS OF VA**NG, VA**NG CAN EXPOSE YOU TO DANGEROUS CHEMICALS AND CAN LEAD TO NI****NE ADDICTION. V**es contain a battery and e-liquid. The battery heats the liquid and produces an aerosol or v***r that you inhale. Many e-liquids contain propylene glycol, glycerol, flavorings, and ni****ne — the same highly addictive drug found in ci******es. Some v**es contain as much ni****ne as a whole pack of ci******es. Ni****ne addiction causes you to crave ni****ne and makes it hard to stop va**ng. Teens are more vulnerable than adults to addiction because their brains are still developing. Exposure to ni****ne as a teen can cause short-term and long-term effects on attention, learning, and memory that promote addiction to ni****ne. V**e aerosol can expose you to harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, acrolein, and acetaldehyde, as well as harmful metal particles like nickel and aluminum. STAY VAPE-FREE. Avoid ni****ne addiction. If you already v**e, you can quit. It may take several tries, but you can do it. If you need help, visit teen.smokefree.gov/quit-va**ng.
