☠️ V**e aerosols contains toxic substances

🫁 Va**ng increases risk of lung disorders

❤️ Va**ng increases risk of cardiovascular disease

In Public Health Region 3, the most frequently reported substances among youth receiving substance use treatment services were:

• 🍃 Ma*****na
• 🍺 Alcohol

💡 Why this matters:

• Prevention works best before substance use starts
• Education + support = stronger youth outcomes 💙
