This article demonstrates the importance of implementing wellness programs in schools—in this case, a vaping-reduction program (STOMP). Wellness programs are essential for creating a thriving school community in which both staff and students feel supported, motivated and appreciated. A vaping-reduction program can not only educate students about the harmful effects of vaping but also empower them to make greater changes in the school and even the community. Programs like STOMP also shown to provide opportunities for teachers (particularly new teachers) to grow professionally, collaborate and learn how to ask for support.
