Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health says it has partnered with Bismarck State College to hold Bismarck’s first citywide vape take-back event on Nov. 19 at the Student Union on the BSC campus.
The event will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and students and community members are invited to bring vaping devices for recycling, according to the announcement. Participants will receive complimentary snacks, information on quitting smoking or vaping, and a Stress Relief Toolkit; service dogs will also be there, the agency said.
Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health said the event is intended to promote responsible recycling of vaping devices, nicotine cessation and substance-free ways to manage stress. The announcement notes that the event coincides with the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout, which takes place Nov. 19.
