DEA National Take Back Day is just around the corner! Plan to drop off unused, unwanted or expired #medication, April 27, at a secure location near you. Don’t forget to check with elderly #family members too. We can all play a part in reducing availability of these medications.

1/5 Sunday Spotlight: I HIGHLY recommend this read. Helps explain why despite vaping possibly being a safer option for current adult smokers, it presents unique and significant concerns for youth. #noEcigs4kids

The use of nicotine by youth in any form, including e-cigarettes, is unsafe, can cause addiction, and can harm the developing adolescent brain. It's up to us to do our part in bringing an end to this urgent public health problem. https://t.co/c8zCbUpwih
