We’re excited to partner with Kids Docs on Wheels to bring Rise Above the Smoke to our schools—a vaping and smoking cessation program designed to support healthier choices for students. Kids Docs on Wheels leads the health education component, providing students with trusted, expert guidance.

We’re especially proud to be implementing this program at Pebblebrook High School, expanding access to critical prevention and cessation support.

In Cobb County and Marietta, schools—like many across Georgia—continue to see the impact of youth vaping. Statewide, nearly 1 in 13 high school students report current e-cigarette use, reinforcing the need for education and support.

Rise Above the Smoke helps students understand the risks, build refusal skills, and access support to quit—while promoting confidence, resilience, and healthy decision-making.

Together, we’re committed to supporting the whole health of our students so they can stay focused, engaged, and on track for success.
