Ever wondered what the fuss about vaping is all about? This episode of 'Horizon Heart to Heart' dives into the nitty-gritty of vaping and its impact on our community. Hosted by Kristina Pearl, the episode features insightful conversations with Joanne Barber from Endeavor Health Services and Colleen Babcock from Horizon Health Services. Joanne, with her 29 years of experience, and Colleen, a parent and family support coordinator, bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
They discuss the basics of vaping, the dangers it poses, and why it’s crucial for parents and schools to stay informed. Vaping, often seen as a safer alternative to smoking, has its own set of risks, especially for adolescents. Joanne explains how the chemicals in e-juice can be harmful and addictive, while Colleen highlights the misconceptions surrounding vaping and its potential as a gateway to stronger substances.
The conversation also touches on dabbing and synthetic cannabis, shedding light on these lesser-known but equally dangerous trends. If you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone concerned about the well-being of your community, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with practical advice on recognising signs of vaping, having conversations with adolescents about its risks, and resources for those looking to quit.
