Vaping, Vanity and Victims

Welcome to the President’s Lecture Series, a partnership offering by Regis and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.

Are you vaping for pleasure? Is it about vanity, or are you using it as an alternative to smoking? Is vaping ever a responsible choice? Whatever your answer, you need to know the facts. You might be surprised to learn who is vaping, what they are vaping, and if in fact, we have an epidemic on our hands. Attend this panel and hear experts on the topic give you the evidence-based information you need.

Please join your friends and colleagues for light snacks and networking at 5:30 p.m.
