In most local municipalities, the age to vape is the same as purchasing cigarettes, which is 18. There are exceptions out there however, such as 21 in Nassau County, NY and 21 in New York City. Online sales in the US now require all customers to be 21 or older, including age verification with state ID, drivers license, or passport. CAN I USE THE DEVICE INDOORS?

“We are especially concerned because the survey shows that some of the teens using these devices are first- time nicotine users,” Nora D. Volkow, MD, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse “Recent research suggests that some of them could move on to regular cigarette smoking, so it is critical that we intervene with evidence-based efforts to prevent youth from using these products.”
according to U.S. News & World Report.
The survey also found a decrease in high school seniors’ perceptions of the risk of using marijuana.

Rigorous peer-reviewed evidence-based research on school sites using mindfulness curriculum programs during this period of 2018 include the following benefits:
Formal mindfulness helps to stabilize our daily routine – Commit to a daily mindfulness practice
S
The first step to challenging bias with mindfulness is to become more mindful in general! Mindfulness can improve our self-control and adaptability, making us more capable of changing old habits. Committing to a formal mindfulness meditation practice is the foundation of living a more mindful life. If you find it difficult to make a daily commitment, consider using an app, joining a mindfulness meditation group (in person or virtually), or finding a mindfulness buddy to check in with regularly
S
Formal mindfulness practice helps to stabilize our informal practice – bringing mindfulness to each moment of our daily lives. As a practitioner, I know that this is much more easily said than done. One tool that helps me to live more mindfully is the “Triangle of Awareness.” The Triangle of Awareness includes the primary elements of inner experience – thoughts, emotions, and body sensations – all continuously shifting. With mindfulness, we bring our attention to the rising and falling of these elements throughout our waking lives. In doing so, we gain insight into what’s happening within us on a deeper level, empowering us to respond more skillfully and intentionally to each passing state.
S
Amygdala Aroused when detecting and reacting to emotions, especially difficult or strong emotions such as fear. This part of the brain is less activated and has less gray matter density following mindfulness training.
S
Hippocampus Critical to learning and memory, and helps regulate the amygdala. This part of the brain is more active and has more gray matter density following mindfulness training.

Mindfulness techniques introduced in educational settings offer students techniques for dealing with whatever comes their way. Imagine a 3 ½ year old finding a quiet space to just have some “breathing time” in the midst of a rowdy after school play date. It is inspiring to watch as some of the youngest learners begin accessing their own power to attend, display self control, and exercise compassion toward others.
S
Mindfulness training offers tools for empowerment, resiliency and concentration allowing our students to reach their potentials as academic learners, active listeners and engaged members of society. While exploring our work with others within our own families, workplaces or classrooms, I strongly believe in creating a climate of compassion, resiliency and
Valuing the importance of not taking ourselves to seriously, I encourage humor as well. As we prepare all of our students to thrive in the future, we’re outfitting the next generation with tools for life by nurturing and challenging their bodies, minds and spirits.
S
In education, we place great value on the ability to pay attention, but it is rare that we teach how to pay attention! As we can strengthen and build muscle groups to excel in athletic endeavors, we can also train our minds and bodies to excel in any activity that requires focus.
