Smoking cigarettes is a well-established cause of various serious health issues, including lung cancer, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and stroke. Vaping is not risk-free either, and there have been concerns about its impact on lung health.
The likelihood of university students using nicotine varies depending on a range of factors, including individual choices, peer influences, and cultural norms. According to the Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey (2019) approximately 15% of Canadians aged 15 to 24 were current smokers and 15% of Canadian youth aged 15 to 19 reported having vaped in the past 30 days.
Join staff from Student Health and Wellness October 18th from 11am to 1pm outside the Main Cafeteria where we'll be sharing information and resources so you can make informed choices about your health and well-being, explore alternative stress-relief techniques, and work on adopting healthier habits to replace smoking and vaping.
Let's make a positive step for your health and well-being; it's time to quit!
Remember that quitting nicotine and vaping is a process, and it may take time and multiple attempts to succeed. Be patient with yourself and don't be discouraged by setbacks. If you find that you're struggling significantly, consider seeking professional help, counseling, or guidance from healthcare providers to increase your chances of quitting successfully.
It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
