Today concludes Red Ribbon week! We have one more drug fact/question. Yesterday winners: Anna Hernandez and Phillip Maynard! 

Today’s Question: This drug is highly addictive and can be as hard to quit as heroin or cocaine. It can take as little as eight seconds for this drug to reach the brain, and teens can become addicted within a day of first use. This drug can harm the brain, especially in young people whose brains are still developing. It can also increase the risk of heart attack by raising blood pressure and increasing heart rate. This drug is found in all tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, and most e-cigarettes.
