  • Kathy Crosby, Director of Communications at FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, has also authored a blog which advises parents and teachers to be on the lookout for disposable and stealth e-cigarettes. Some stealth e-cigarette products can be disguised as backpacks, smartwatches, or gaming devices and youth use of disposable e-cigarettes has increased according to results of the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey.

    Additional Scholastic materials include lesson plans, activity sheets, a guide for parents to talk to kids about e-cigarettes, and infographics. These materials are accessible online for free and are adaptable for remote instruction or independent student work.
