Hello Edison community! My name is Consuela White and I hope all of you are staying healthy and well. I am providing some information about vaping and drugs that is relevant to what we are experiencing right now with COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently updated their website to include information about smoking/vaping and COVID-19. The WHO states that “smokers are likely to be more vulnerable to COVID-19.” The full statement can be found here.
Unfortunately, substance use and addiction don’t stop for a pandemic. If you need support with your child, please feel free to reach out to me at cmwhite@fcps.edu. Additionally, the Community Services Board (CSB) is still providing mental health and substance abuse services. Their information can be found here. If there are any parents trying to have conversations about addiction, drugs, and alcohol while your child is a captive audience and you need material please let me know.
