This article focuses on the health implications of vaping across the lifespan and emphasizes the need for NPs to evaluate ENDS use consistently across age groups and offer age-appropriatetreatment within the clinical setting. Importantly, although vaping is prevalent among various age groups, most tobbaco use, including vaping, begins and become established during adolescence. This back-to-school season therefore marks an ideal time for NPs to educate their pediatric patients, alongwith their parents or caregivers, about the wide-spread effects of vaping on health, and it also serves as a reminder to screen for the condition in adults, regardless of smoking history. To combat this trend on a larger scale, NPs can further advocate for community health by promoting youth prevention programs and supporting policy initiatives aimed at curbing ENDS useUniform titles: - The Nurse Practitioner
