"Think vaping is harmless? Think again. Nicotine is highly addictive, and e-cigarettes contain chemicals that can damage your lungs and heart, fast. Don't fall for the hype. Your health is worth protecting! #NoVaping #TruthAboutTobacco #HealthyLungs #CUYFDDetroit"

Both 988 and 911 provide critical support but focus on different crisis types: the #988Lifeline specializes in #mentalhealth, suicide, and problematic substance use support, while 911 addresses physical dangers needing police, fire, or EMS.
