If you’re an educator or community member committed to helping students navigate the youth vaping epidemic, we have programs to help you in your efforts. Participating in the American Lung Association Vape-Free Schools Initiative means that you are a leader in supporting students affected by tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, offering clear guidance, education, and cessation. Completion of the INDEPTH or N-O-T Facilitator Course training and Vape-Free Schools Initiative Policy Assessment Course will allow you to be recognized by the American Lung Association as a member of the Vape-Free Schools Initiative.

If you already have a cessation program in your school or community center, take our 3-session INDEPTH Alternative to Suspension training. This is available at no cost.

If you need a vaping/smoking/tobacco cessation program, take our 10-session Vaping Education & Tobacco Cessation training (N-O-T), which also includes INDEPTH Alternative to Suspension. This program is available with a cost of $400 per training seat and certifies you as a nationally-recognized American Lung Association Not On Tobacco Facilitator for three years.

Vape-Free School Initiative participants have exclusive access to promotional resources to share with parents, school personnel, students, and the surrounding community. They will be featured as a member of the initiative on the American Lung Association website.
