Effects of teen vaping.
Project description
This project was about adolescents and their behavior with different things, such as, vaping, smoking, drinking, and substance abuse and how they act and feel, prior and afterward to the use. My topic was teen vaping. I chose this because it is very important to me and I think that the whole thing should be banned along with cigarettes. people say the e-cigarettes are 95% better for you, however, e-cigarettes act as a “gateway drug” which makes people who use them want to use actual cigarettes. even though there 95% better for you, that doesn't mean they're good for you. In this project, I will explore the effects of teen vaping.
Reflection
The biggest challenge for me was choosing a topic and sticking with it. My topics switched from vaping to smoking to drinking and back to vaping, because I think that all three of them are unhealthy and have potential bad consequences. Finding accurate information was also a struggle because most of the internet sites I found while researching the topic were big group chats and were not informative data I could use for my project. I spent more time researching data than I thought I was going to, but did end up with useful information supporting my claim that vaping is an unhealthy choice.
I am proud of all the information that I was able to gather and how the info graphic came together. I’m also proud of what I learned from the process. I discovered that companies appeal to under eighteen year olds with targeted packaging and flavors to draw in a younger buyer. and they make you want to buy their products. I didn't know that before I started this project and its interesting to me that they advertise this way to encourage young people to try and become addicted to their product when it is so harmful.
My overall take away from this is that vaping is an unhealthy habit that can be quickly addicting. A lot of teens start by using vape pens and it can be a gateway drug to more dangerous drugs such as meth or heroin. I strongly believe that kids and teens shouldn't be the target audience of advertising for these harmful drugs. Vape pens should be banned and there should be stricter laws around advertising and selling to minors. All in all I believe that vaping is a very unhealthy practice and I would like to help others stop and understand how unhealthy vaping really is.
