Tobacco Use and Vaping

Catch My Breath Vaping Prevention Program

The Onslow County Public Library provides vaping prevention programs throughout the community to help youth gain skills on exit strategies and refusal techniques when offered or pressured to vape.  

Host CATCH My Breath for Youth at your Agency

Catch My Breath is an evidence-based program to educate 5th – 12th graders about the harmful effects of vaping and best practices to aid in refusal skills and exit strategies when offered vape and e-cigarette products. The free program consists of four 30-minute sessions. It helps youth gain leadership skills and the ability to sCATCH-My-Breath-Logo-300x159uccessfully abstain from peer pressure.

Whether we're trying to lose weight, get more exercise or quit smoking, Monday is the day that we usually choose to set those plans in motion.

Part of the Monday Campaigns, Quit and Stay Quit Monday℠ puts focus on using Monday to check in on our progress with cessation or recommit to quitting tobacco if we've relapsed.
