Nicotine is highly addictive and the easiest way to avoid getting addicted is to not start vaping or smoking. But our kids watch and learn from our behaviour, so watching us, or others, smoke or vape can make them more likely to do it too. Plus, breathing in secondhand smoke has serious health risks for your kids. Quitting altogether is the safest choice for your health and their health.
