You’ve probably heard that smoking cigarettes can kill healthy lung tissue and lead to scary stuff like lung cancer. But while fighting lung cancer is hard work, preventing its leading cause doesn’t have to be. #DrugFreeTX #LungCancerAwareness
Got questions? Take time to talk to your family, teachers and more about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. #drugfreetx #drugfreebestme

Think that vape pen is safe? Think again. It actually has more nicotine than cigarettes. ¿Crees que los vaporizadores no son peligrosos? No estés tan seguro. La verdad es que contienen más nicotina que los cigarrillos.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nicotine in any form is a highly addictive drug. Whether it’s work, sports, family or school, you have plenty of excuses to say ‘no’ to smoking AND vaping.
Según el Instituto Nacional sobre el Abuso de Drogas, la nicotina en cualquiera de sus formas es una droga altamente adictiva. Ya sea en el trabajo, en el deporte o en la escuela, tienes bastantes pretextos para decir ‘no’ a fumar Y a vapear.
When peer pressure to drink arises, it’s nice to have your own tricks to navigate those situations. Apple juice in a red plastic cup can help get you through tricky situations.
Cuando aumente la presión social de beber, es bueno tener tus propios trucos para lidiar con estas situaciones. Tener jugo de manzana en un vaso de plástico rojo puede ayudarte a salir airoso de situaciones difíciles.
It may sound weird, but role-playing real-life situations involving drugs and alcohol with your parents can be a really helpful way to practice saying no and prepare for tempting situations. #drugfreetx
