Public Health Program Discusses Nicotine, E-Cigarettes

The University of New Hampshire’s Master of Public Health graduate program is sponsoring a free workshop called “Old Vices, New Devices: Nicotine and E-Cigarettes” at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at the UNH Manchester Campus in the Pandora Mill Building: 88 Commercial St.

E-cigarettes have sparked a debate in the Public Health community. Are they a smoking cessation tool or another route to nicotine addiction? ‘Vaping’ is the new smoking, but is it any safer or a just a marketing strategy targeting young adults?

Laurie Warnock, MPH, the NH Education Coordinator for Northern New England Poison Center will be presenting about the rising issues surrounding E-Cigarette use in our community.

This is a free lecture, open to the UNH Community and the public health community at large. To RSVP please visit our website: gradschool.unh.edu/manchester/php/gsmc_reg.php.
