Mothers Against Vaping, a coalition of concerned women, has launched an educational toolkit to counter the rising 'vaping crisis' among youth. The initiative aims to educate children about the hazards of modern nicotine devices, including vapes and nicotine gums.

The launch, attended by over 500 students from Classes 8 to 12, incorporates performance arts to engage young minds in understanding the risks associated with vaping and addiction. Professor Atul Goel highlighted the deceptive marketing tactics used to attract young consumers.

Jitendramani Tripathi stressed the importance of values and cultural heritage in helping youth resist harmful influences. A poster-making competition further encouraged students to creatively express the dangers of nicotine devices.
