This is your morning vaping announcement, and today we want to take a moment to talk about something that’s been affecting many of your peers: vaping. While it’s often marketed as a harmless alternative to smoking, the truth is, vaping can have serious mental health effects, especially for teens. Studies have shown that vaping can impact your brain, particularly the areas responsible for memory, focus, and decision-making. The nicotine in vapes can alter brain chemistry, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Over time, these effects can make it harder to concentrate in class, retain information, and manage stress.

The Knights Health Center will be closed on Monday, January 20th in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
