I recently had the privilege of traveling to Louisa County, Virginia, to deliver a series of interactive, fun, and educational vaping awareness assemblies in Virginia schools, students in grades 4–12. Over the course of two impactful days, middle and high school students from across the district participated in multiple sessions focused on vaping awareness and positive decision-making.  There is also a planned virtual elementary school presentation on vaping and making healthy choices.   

These weren’t your typical lectures—each session was part of an evidence-based teen vaping presentation (grades 5–12) that used magic, illusions, and humor to capture students’ attention and hold it. By blending entertainment with education, we created an environment where students felt engaged, informed, and empowered to think critically about vaping and peer pressure.  Students will also get access to a vaping awareness curriculum to reinforce the important lessons delivered during the presentations.    

But the education doesn’t stop with students. In today’s world, it’s essential that parents are equipped with the same knowledge so they can support healthy choices at home. That’s why we’re also offering an on-demand virtual vaping presentation for parents.

The evidence-based teen vaping presentation for parents covers:

• What teens are actually vaping (nicotine, THC, or both)
• Why the vaping industry specifically targets youth
• Warning signs to watch for at home
• Resources and tips if your child is vaping

These presentations were part of a broader prevention effort to address the rising concerns of youth vaping in schools and communities. It’s clear that vaping awareness assemblies in Virginia schools like those in Louisa County are making a difference—starting essential conversations, correcting misinformation, and promoting healthier choices.
