Quick Facts about Vaping
We are conducting this survey in order to discover the prevalence of vaping among Idaho teens, and attitudes towards it. Our mission is to get an understanding of the size of the issue from teens themselves. Vaping has many risks. Read more about why this is an important issue:
1. Health Impacts
Vaping impacts the brains, lungs and bones of teens. Nicotine exposure can harm the developing brain and lead to addiction, memory loss, mood disorders and reduced impulse control. Vaping also can lead to bone and lung disorders in young bodies.
2. Illegal Access
Although vaping under the age of 21 is illegal in the US and Idaho, Idaho youth still manage to acquire vape products. Many vapes are found via social media channels and are sold by adults. Often it is unclear what is contained in these “street vapes”.
3. Easily Hidden
Vapes have been designed to be easily disguised and don’t have the smoke or smell associated with combustible cigarettes. According to Idaho teens and prevention experts, kids are vaping in classrooms and in front of their parents.
4. Addictive
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance that enters the body when vaping. Nicotine exposure can affect the development of the brain, causing changes in attention span, learning, and memory; rewiring the brain to crave more nicotine; and leading to addiction.
5. Growing Concern
E-cigarettes were introduced to the US market in 2007. Since that time, they have evolved from being marketed as a way for cigarette smokers to quit to easy-to-hide disposable vapes that are highly addictive, especially for youth.
