Parent Presentation on Vaping Awareness for Schools
Whether you’re an educator, parent, or health professional exploring how to effectively address youth vaping at your school, a vaping awareness parent/community night can be a game changer. In addition to student presentations, it’s vital to get parents involved to make the biggest impact. Luckily, vaping awareness speaker and “edutainer” Robert Hackenson Jr. not only delivers dynamic student presentations (grades 4–12), but also offers a focused parent presentation on vaping awareness. The parent presentation can be a standalone evening event or can be part of our most popular Flat Day package (this gives you up to 4 student presentations and a parent night within 24 hours that can be split between different schools). This approach ensures your entire school community—students and families—hear consistent, persuasive, research-based content.
What Will Parents Learn?
Parents will gain the knowledge and tools they need to engage and support their teens. Key topics include:
Who is behind the vaping industry — and why they’re intentionally targeting your teen- What ingredients and chemicals are inside vapes (nicotine, additives, etc.)
- Health risks for teens: lungs, brain, addiction, developmental harm
- Teen vaping trends: flavored disposables, mods, pod systems, THC vaping
- Best practices for talking with your child about vaping—without blame or alienation
- Prevention strategies: boundary setting, modeling, monitoring
- What to look for: behavioral signs, hidden devices, changes in habit
- Best practices if you discover vaping: how to approach, support, intervene
- Resources available to families: quitlines, support programs, evidence-based materials.
Why Schools Love It
- Unified Messaging for Students & Parents
Your students receive the same foundational vaping awareness presentation during school hours. Later, parents attend or view a parent presentation that reinforces the same themes—but with deeper, adult-oriented insights. That alignment makes conversations at home easier, more coherent, and more effective. - Cost Efficiency & Simplicity
Many schools include the parent/community night in the flat day rate that already covers student assemblies. You don’t need to schedule a second speaker or juggle extra fees—everything is streamlined and integrated. - Flexible Delivery Formats
Presentations can be live in-person, live streamed, or on-demand virtual. Families who can’t attend in person still have access later. Every parent also receives curated resource links and support materials after the event. - Engaging & Informative for Parents
The parent session balances clarity and engagement. It’s less “edutaining” than the student sessions but still compelling, using stories, data, and persuasion techniques to spark awareness, reflection, and action. - Practical Takeaways & Resources
Parents will receive actionable tips on how vaping companies target teens, the health risks, what parents need to look for, and best practices for talking to teens about vaping, and more. After the presentation, we provide additional resources, links, and support materials so parents can continue the conversations at home.

The learning doesn’t have to stop when the vaping awareness speaker is done.
