Memphis Shelby County Schools is hosting a district wide event on Thursday, Nov. 20, which is the date for the Great American Smokeout.
The goal of this initiative is educating students on the behavior and health risks associated with vaping, but also focusing on the mental, emotional, and social health; conflict resolution; and utilizing community resources — which are all an integral part of the New Tennessee Health Standards K-12 (July 1, 2026).
Our role is to discuss with students how vaping, smoking, and using tobacco can harm your teeth, breath, and dental hygiene.
