Smoking tobacco is one of the leading causes of preventable disease and death. Tobacco products include cigarettes, electronic smokeless tobacco (e-cigs), and hookah. Even if you do not smoke and someone in your family or friends do, smoking risks may still apply to you.

Youth and young adults experience stress every day. Next time you feel stressed; try activities like listening to music, talking to a friend, drawing, and writing, deep breathing, or exercising to reduce stress. #meditatedontmedicate #drugfreeyouth
