Australian teens learn about the dangers of smoking in the classroom, but is there an extra role for parents to play?

In this episode of the Kids Health Info podcast, our host, Dr Anthea Rhodes, is joined by Respiratory Specialist, Dr Moya Vandeleur, to explain the facts about nicotine that parents need to know.

Exploring the challenges that parents face in having conversations with their teens about cigarettes, vapes and oral nicotine pouches, this episode covers the impacts these products can have and unpacks the myth that there is any ‘healthy’ form of nicotine consumption.
