Curriculums to address vaping, cannabis use, and prescription drug misuse

Truth Initiative provides a national youth vaping prevention curriculum and a prescription drug safety curriculum, both made available to schools by EVERFI®, the leader in social impact education. Our free digital courses guide students through the dangers associated with vaping nicotine, cannabis use, and prescription drug misuse in an authentic peer-to-peer youth voice. 

As of October 2026, more than 1.8 million students have engaged with the free digital vaping prevention curriculum, learning the facts about nicotine addiction and receiving proven resources to quit.
