CATCH My Breath is currently the only evidence-based youth vaping nicotine prevention program for grades 5th-12th offered in the U.S (as cited by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), with nearly every state adopting the program.

Central District Health offers free training to implement the curriculum, with 1-hour and 3-hour session options. It has proven its effectiveness at reducing students’ likelihood of vaping by equipping students with the skills needed to resist peer-pressure and marketing influence by big-tobacco companies.

This conversation can be challenging, and you are not alone! Whether in your workplace or in another public place, having knowledge about the risks of secondary and tertiary exposure to tobacco smoke and vaping aerosol can help you address the issue.

The state of Idaho recognizes that secondhand tobacco smoke exposure causes disease among nonsmoking adults and serious health conditions in children and has further warranted measures that regulate smoking in public places to protect the health of the public as well as employees within public workplaces. 

Through four core values of fun, knowledge, empowerment, and support, Idaho Drug Free Youth fosters positive choices and healthy living by enhancing community through its programs.
