While e-cigarette use has declined since 2019, it remains a serious public health problem for teens.

Southern Seven Health Department is increasing its Catch My Breath vaping prevention education program for that age group.

WSIU's Brad Palmer spoke with Southern Seven health educator Sydney Shelton about the program and more.

For more information, you can visit the Illinois Tobacco Quitline, Southern Seven Health Department, or call 866-QUIT-YES or (618) 634-2297.
