November 22, 2019

Last December, the U.S. surgeon general raised an alarm regarding the rise in e-cigarette use among the nation’s youth, saying it has increased “at a rate of epidemic proportions.” According to the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey , over 5 million youth are currently using e-cigarettes, primarily the JUUL brand, with nearly 1 million youth using the product daily. This substantial increase in teenage vaping is seriously impacting middle and high schools across America.

Teen vaping has gained a significant amount of media attention since President Trump expressed concern about vaping’s public health effects in a September meeting with the FDA. While Trump had suggested a ban on flavored e-cigarettes, it seems that he has backed away from that idea due to political fallout among voters .

Vaping is on the rise in schools

Of the youth population, 27.5% regularly use e-cigarettes, approximately 22 percentage points higher than high schoolers who smoke normal cigarettes. These numbers are alarming because vaping has various types of negative impacts on health. First , e-cigarettes have been linked to severe lung and heart diseases. Second , e-cigarettes with high levels of nicotine can put youth at risk for developing a nicotine addiction which subsequently hinders brain development. Third, e-cigarettes expose youth users to harmful substances, like heavy metals, and are a gateway to smoking cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are causing public health and disciplinary concerns in schools nationwide. Teenagers are being hospitalized for vaping-related diseases, with at least one confirmed death . Teachers and school administrators are trying, yet failing, to prevent students from vaping in classrooms and on school campuses. Administrators are struggling to combat vaping with both punitive and restorative disciplinary measures , and students continue to vape even when facing penalties as serious as suspension. With the number of youth e-cigarette users increasing in the last decade and roughly doubling since 2017 , there may be a need for new policies that could standardize an approach to combating teenage vaping and help curb the impact on students.

President Trump proposed two routes to tackle vaping: a ban on flavored e-cigarettes , and raising the minimum age of purchase on e-cigarettes from 18 to 21. According to recent reporting , Trump has delayed a flavor ban. In response to Trump’s inaction, the House Energy and Commerce Committee passed a bill on Tuesday that would ban flavored tobacco products, raise the minimum age of purchase to 21, and restrict online sales of tobacco products. Despite the bill in the House, Trump is meeting with vaping industry executives and public health advocates. It is unclear how vaping regulations will unfold, but it is worthwhile to examine potential plans and their implications on students.

Examining a potential ban of flavored e-cigarettes

Major vaping companies, like JUUL Labs, have pushed against the flavor ban, which may have influenced Trump’s sudden decision to pull back from the policy. JUUL, which controls three-fourths of the e-cigarette market and has a forecasted 2019 revenue of $3.4 billion , is being investigated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for allegedly illegally advertising its products as less harmful than regular cigarettes. Consequently , JUUL altered its leadership and marketing practices by suspending all advertising in the U.S. and replacing its CEO.

Banning the sale of flavored e-cigarettes would have hefty implications on vaping companies since they employ thousands of small shop owners and hardware designers. Banning the legal sale of flavored vaping products would also create a robust black market for e-cigarettes. A black market for vapes could be lethal for youth who find themselves smoking from cartridges cut with cheaper substances.

Trump faced pressures from the vaping lobby, which flocked to the nation’s capital claiming, among other things, that flavored e-cigarettes help smokers quit regular cigarettes. It is unproven , however, if there are health benefits to a regular smoker who instead becomes a long-term vaper. Research further suggests that while e-cigarette use was associated with high rates of smoking cessation, more than 80% of smokers who entered a randomized trial to stop smoking with the help of e-cigarettes continued to smoke e-cigarettes a year later. This is especially concerning given that smoking e-cigarettes has a negative impact on health.

Should the age limit be increased?

Whether by congressional action or Trump’s executive authority, the age minimum to purchase e-cigarettes can be changed from 18 to 21. Some vaping advocates believe that youth vape because of the nicotine in e-cigarettes. While the nicotine content in e-cigarettes can get students addicted to vaping, our analysis of the 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey indicates that the most students report vaping for the flavor (about 35%) and because their family and friends use e-cigarettes (about 30%). Increasing the age of purchase to 21 would not address either of those incentives to vape.

Changing the age limit to 21 might fail to prevent many minors from getting their hands on e-cigarettes; in fact, 19% of youth report first trying an e-cigarette before the age of 13. Starting at the age of 13, rates of youth vaping in each age group increase. In 2018, 22% of 16-year-olds and 24% of 17-year-olds reported smoking an e-cigarette. This is an increase from 2017, when 11% of 16-year-olds and 14% of 17-year-olds reported smoking an e-cigarette. This shows that students are gaining access to and using e-cigarette products at an age well below the current age limit of 18. Further, over 70% of youth e-cigarette users report buying e-cigarettes from people rather than a shop, and 27% of frequent users reported living with someone who smoked. Youth vapers are typically not going to shops to buy vapes, they are buying vapes from their peers. Thus, minors who vape may still have access, although slightly restricted, to flavored e-cigarettes from friends and family who are over the age of 21.

We cannot know what will happen to e-cigarettes if the minimum age increases, but we can look to the experience of increasing the minimum age on alcohol for some suggestive evidence. According to the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 30% of youth drank some amount of alcohol while 14% of youth engaged in binge drinking. Though raising the age limit for purchasing alcohol helped reduce youth alcohol consumption , youth consumption of alcohol persists.

State and local action

Federal action to stop the teenage vaping epidemic will likely fall short on some, if not most, metrics. Consequently, the onus will fall on state governments, boards of education, and local school districts to combat the issue of teen vaping. Several localities have already taken vaping into their own hands. For example, four states have banned vaping on school grounds, seven states have enacted or will enact a ban on flavored vaping products, and 18 states have raised the legal smoking age from 18 to 21 in the past three years. While the numbers show that vaping has increased drastically even with these state-level bans placed in populous states like New York and Texas, the effect of these state policies is largely unknown.

Beyond traditional tactics like monitoring bathrooms and hallways to confiscate vaping devices, states could also take a new approach to fighting the e-cigarette epidemic, like offering grants to schools to invest in on-site counseling. South Portland High School has been addressing teen vaping by offering mental health services and guiding students away from the social influences that encourage vaping. This school—and others, like Arrowhead High School in Milwaukee—have also been getting students involved in their anti-vaping campaign via peer-to-peer education.

The teenage vaping crisis calls for innovative solutions. In collaboration with federal and state action, local actors can look at the FDA’s Youth Tobacco Prevention Plan for insight on ways to initiate community-supported approaches that restrict access to vaping products, curb teenage-focused marketing tactics, and educate teenagers about the harmful, long-term effects of vaping.

In a major speech today, Federal Health Minister Mark Butler said vaping has become “the number one behavioural issue in high schools”.

The government today proposed a suite of reforms aimed at reducing vaping.

But what does the evidence show about the prevalence of vaping in schools and the kind of behavioural issues associated with it?

My colleagues and I have been researching teen vape use through the Generation Vape study. We’ve been tracking teenagers’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours about using vapes (also known as e-cigarettes).

This has involved interviewing and surveying young people across Australia aged 13–17, their parents and carers and secondary school teachers, principals and administrators.

Here’s what we know so far.

How prevalent is vaping in high schools?

Of the 721 young people we have surveyed so far:

32% had ever vaped (we call these people “ever-vapers”)

54% of ever-vapers had never smoked cigarettes before starting vaping

ever-smokers were seven times more likely to be ever-vapers than those who had never smoked (in other words, young people who have tried smoking are much more likely to have tried vaping)

ever-vapers were 18 times more likely to be ever-smokers than those who had never vaped (in other words, young people who had ever tried vaping were significantly more likely to have ever tried smoking).

Most of our respondents said the main factor driving their vaping was flavouring and taste.

In other words, about one in three teenagers have tried vaping. Only a few years ago it was really rare, but it’s exploded in use.

We also asked about frequency of vaping. We found 10% typically used vapes on six or more days a month, but the fact that most are occasional users suggests we have a window of opportunity to act now before these people become addicted.

Occasional users told us they are trying vaping because they are curious, are interested in experiencing the hit from nicotine, and don’t imagine themselves getting addicted. Unfortunately, they often do find soon themselves addicted, which is why a public health response is so urgently needed.

Our data also shows:

more than half of those trying a vape for the first time are under age 16

more than half of ever-vapers reported using a vape they knew contained nicotine

vaping is seen as a socially acceptable behaviour separate and unique from smoking.

One 17-year-old ever-vaper told us “no-one” buys the non-nicotine devices

because they don’t give you head spins, so they are pointless. It’s almost like wasting money.

Another 17-year-old past vaper told us:

Oh, you can get ones without nicotine but I don’t think they’re very popular […] it tells you when you buy a vape how much nicotine’s in it. It’s usually 5%.

What are teachers, principals and school administrators saying?

In our surveys and interviews with teachers, principals and school administrators, we found:

58% of teachers have confiscated vaping products from students two or more times a week

86% of teachers are concerned or very concerned about students vaping in their school

62% of teachers are aware of vaping products being sold on school grounds.

Teachers reported feeling they had to police students by searching bags and pencil cases, and that having to manage vaping as a disciplinary issue took time away from teaching.

Principals and school administrators talked about having to

use school funds to install vape detectors in school toilets

liaise with parents of children caught vaping

think about safety issues presented by people coming to the school gate to sell vapes to students.

If children are addicted, we don’t want to see them kicked out of school. It’s not their fault they have become addicted to these products. That’s why we need a public health response rather than a punitive response.

One principal told us:

it’s probably the single most disruptive thing in our school at the moment.

A different teacher said:

even when you catch them they deny to your face and then you have argue […] it becomes a massive issue and 40 minutes of your life is taken away just with this one thing when you should be doing other things as a teacher.

Another principal said:

We can bring it up with the kids as much as we want, but I think we need a little bit of traction there beyond school too.

What kind of behaviour issues are linked to vaping in school?

Teens who vape regularly reported:

experiencing nicotine withdrawal while at school, which can feel like anxiety or stress (many told us they vape for their mental health, not understanding the stress is linked to the addiction)

sneaking out of class to vape

feeling distracted and finding it difficult to focus in the classroom

feeling stressed about needing to hide their device and their vaping while at school.

One 17-year-old told us:

I’d see people at school […] at nine o’clock in the morning going, “Oh do you have a vape? Do you have a vape? I need one. I haven’t had one all day”, and begging people for it […] so I think it’s mostly an addiction thing with people who are heavy users.

What is the evidence telling us is needed?

The evidence tells us we really need to get these products out of the hands of young people. That’s why making them harder to buy is vital.

About 80% of our respondents told us it was easy to get vapes; it was common knowledge who sold them at school or that certain people would sell them by the school gate.

That’s why the importation ban in the government reforms is so important, and why it’s crucial states and territories work with the federal government to get vapes out of corner shops and petrol stations. It’s about reducing access so kids aren’t exposed to it as they are walking to school.

Is it really the number one behavioural issue in high school?

It’s impossible to say. But certainly the data is telling us it is a very big issue.

Of the teachers we surveyed, 86% said they were “highly concerned” about vaping at school. In interviews, teachers often described vaping as the key issue they are dealing with outside the classroom.

Schools have to deal with so many issues, so if we can reduce this one or even take it off their plate altogether then we should.

School children favour vaping over smoking or taking drugs

Fewer school children are smoking or taking drugs, but vaping use among 11 to 15-year-olds is increasing, a study from NHS Digital finds

In 2021, 9% of school children aged 11 to 15 years old report vaping on a regular or occasional basis . This comes at an increase of 6% since 2018.

Which children are vaping?

The report found that 1 in 5 UK 15-year-old girls vape and 18% of all 15-year-olds are current e-cigarette users.

Statistics revealed that 23% of children who met people outside of school or the home every day were vaping, compared to 1% of those who didn’t venture out socially.

In the UK, the number of people considered regular smokers and e-cigarette users more than doubled, from 29% of regular smokers in 2018 to 61% in 2021.

‘I wake up with a tight chest every morning’

Priscilla, a source for Open Access Government, explained that she first started vaping at 15 years old and like many other children, has been addicted ever since. Now at 21 years old, she comments on her symptoms :

“I can feel it on my chest and I wake up with a tight chest every morning. Previously, I only used my inhaler for my allergies but now I need to use it every day.

“I regret starting vaping at school. I know I need to quit but it’s hard.”

Only 3% of British school children smoke cigarettes

The Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People in England , 2021 report found that cigarette use has decreased by 5% since 2018.

The lowest level ever recorded

In 2021, only 3% of students smoked. In addition, only 12% reported having ever smoked, a decrease from 16% in 2018, and the lowest level ever recorded.

The report focuses on smoking, drinking and drug use and contains results from a biennial survey of secondary school pupils in England years 7-11 (mostly aged 11-15).

In 2021, 18% of school children had taken drugs

According to this survey, fewer young people are taking drugs. 18% of pupils reported having ever taken drugs, a decline from 24% in 2018 and in the last year, 12% of pupils said they had taken drugs, down from 17% in 2018.

Cannabis is the most popular drug amongst school children

6% of children said they had taken cannabis in 2021, down from 8% in 2018.

In terms of class A drugs, use amongst children has remained at around 2-3% since 2010.

Of those who reported taking drugs on more than one occasion, 19% said they took drugs alone on the most recent occasion, up from 11% in 2018, and 7% in 2016.

Alcohol use has not changed since 2018

6% of pupils aged 11 to 15 years old said they usually drank alcohol at least once a week. This figure has not changed since 2018.

Among those who reported drinking, 6% said they usually drank alone, an increase from 3% in 2018.

How did Covid-19 impact smoking, drinking and drug use ?

Undoubtedly the pandemic impacted the way children interacted with substances. NHS Digital analysed pupils school learning and socialising in the last school year (September 2020 to July 2021).

Researchers found that school children who regularly met up with people outside their school or home were more likely to have recently smoked, drank alcohol or taken drugs.

Of pupils who met with people outside of school every day, the results were the following:

• 9% were current smokers
• 12% usually drank alcohol once a week
• 19% had taken drugs in the last month

Results differed drastically for those individuals who had not met people outside of school in the past four weeks. For those school children, these proportions fell to 1%, 2%, and 2% respectively.

Low levels of life satisfaction for 57% of schoolchildren who use substances

NHS Digital also wanted to study the well-being of schoolchildren, and how this may be linked to smoking, alcohol and drug use.

Pupils were asked questions about life satisfaction, happiness, and anxiety.

Low levels of life satisfaction were experienced by 57% of young people who had recently smoked, drank alcohol and taken drugs. This compared to 35% who had recently done just one of these things, and 18% who had not recently smoked, drank or taken drugs.

How Vaping In School Affects Teachers and the Classroom

Patrick McMahon

Senior Product Marketing Manager

Previous generations of students had it tough—to smoke cigarettes, they had to sneak off-campus. Smoking cigarettes at school was possible, but the smell of smoke would give them away.

Today, young students can vape right in the classroom, and their teachers may not even notice. Not only does this influence young people to use e-cigarettes, but it poses a threat to the health and safety of all students.

What makes vaping so attractive to middle and high school students?

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes, for short), are small, hand-held nicotine delivery devices that heat a nicotine liquid into an inhalable vapor. E-cigarettes come in all shapes and sizes, but many are smaller than a USB drive.

Some e-cigarettes look like traditional cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Others look like everyday items such as pens or USB memory sticks. Some are designed to resemble common household items, like highlighters or even key fobs.

These battery-powered vape pens produce an aerosol “vapor” that can contain nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. The vapor looks similar to the smoke from a cigarette, but it doesn’t have the same smell.

Unlike regular tobacco products, which have one distinct taste, e-cigarettes come in hundreds of fun flavors, like cotton candy, mango, or mint. This makes them more attractive to the 800,000 young people who tried them for the first time in 2022 alone.

How are students getting away with vaping in school?

Because vapes don't smell like regular cigarettes, they are easy to hide. Students can take a quick puff between classes, in the bathroom, or even right in their seats.

In some cases, the vapor dissipates too quickly to be noticeable. In other cases, students can blow it into their clothing or hold it in their mouths before exhaling, reducing, or eliminating the vapor altogether.

A few of the most common places students vape include:

School Bathrooms : Bathrooms are private, and multiple students can use them throughout the day, making it easy to sneak a quick vape.

Classrooms: Especially if a student sits in the back of the room, it can be difficult for a teacher to see them vaping.

Hallways: During passing periods, students can easily blend in and vape without being noticed. During class time, they can use e-cigarettes while nobody is around.

Locker Rooms: Like bathrooms, locker rooms are private places where students can vape without being detected.

And since these devices are so small, students can easily put them in their pockets or backpacks.

Increased youth vaping creates distractions in the classroom.

In 2019, the Truth Initiative hosted an online discussion with educators about how vaping impacts their classrooms. One of their primary concerns was how vaping can be a major distraction.

When students use e-cigarettes, they are not paying attention to the lesson. This is a problem for all students in the class, not just those who don’t use tobacco products.

When students share an e-cigarette with their friends, they naturally draw attention to themselves. As students around the class start to look, they focus less of their energy on the teacher and the lesson.

This can have a ripple effect, leading to more students being distracted and less engaged in learning.

E-cigarette use can lead to lower academic performance.

When students vape in school, it’s not just a distraction for other students. It can also lead to lower grades and academic performance.

A 2021 study found that students who began to use e-cigarettes missed assignments, skipped classes, and reported lower GPAs than those who didn’t use tobacco products.

The Truth Initiative's 2019 data confirms this—teachers have personally noticed that e-cigarette use among their students has led to poor academic performance.

"A kid showing signs of (nicotine) addiction has mood swings (that they may or may not have had before), sudden drop in grades or loss or change of friend groups," one teacher said, describing how e-cigarette addiction has impacted her students.

And this impact goes beyond test scores and homework assignments—school events, sports, and other extracurricular activities are also heavily impacted.

Teachers feel their hands are tied when it comes to school vaping policies.

Half of the teachers surveyed by the Truth Initiative felt that they didn’t have enough power to address e-cigarette use in their classrooms effectively.

Reasons for this include:

Difficulty finding students' vapes

Challenges with vape detection

Lack of prioritization from the school

Limited resources to address youth vaping

Lack of parental support and engagement

Some schools added vaping to their current smoking and drinking policies to prevent students from using e-cigarettes, but this isn’t always effective. But since vaping happens in the classroom and other school spaces much more frequently, the same policies don't always translate.

In many cases, teachers bear the responsibility of catching students vaping and enforcing school policies in their own classrooms. Rather than educate their students, middle and high school teachers across the country must intervene to enforce failing school policies.

Student-teacher relationships suffer, and so does schoolwide culture.

Since policies don't effectively tackle the issue of vaping on school property, it often falls on the teachers to deal with it. And since vaping devices are difficult to detect, the trust between teachers and students begins to erode.

This mistrust can lead to a negative school culture, where students feel like they can't rely on their teachers and adults in positions of power.

And this culture can be toxic—not just for the students, but for the teachers, too.

At the student-to-student level, peer pressure and the social norm of vaping make it hard for students to say no. Researchers estimate that around 1 in 17 high school students vapes daily, and there are millions more who have at least tried it once. And without effective policies in place to curtail the vaping epidemic, it isn't just easy for students to get away with—peers can't escape.

As young adults continue to vape, it threatens public health and safety.

As policies allow vape incidents to slip through the cracks and a lack of supplementary support systems makes it difficult to address the issue, more and more young adults are taking up vaping. Let's take a look at how vaping impacts school health and safety:

1. Nicotine use can harm adolescent brain development.

In middle school and high school, students go through critical changes in their developing brains. Nicotine impairs the growth of neurons and directly harms the portions of the brain responsible for learning, memory, and attention.

Brain development continues until around age 25, so the more nicotine exposure young adults have now, the greater the risk for long-term problems.

2. E-cigarettes adversely impacts lung health.

E-cigarettes contain potentially harmful ingredients, including metals like lead, volatile organic compounds, and cancer-causing agents. According to the American Lung Association, the effects of these toxic chemicals have amplified consequences for young adults and their lung health. And this lung damage can have long-term effects (e.g., lung cancer, bronchitis, and serious lung disease), particularly for teens who vape every day.

3. Teen vaping leads to early addiction.

In addition to the health risks associated with the harmful chemicals in vape juice, nicotine is highly addictive. Young adults who vape are at a greater risk of developing a nicotine addiction than those who don't. When users inhale nicotine, it quickly enters the bloodstream and travels to the brain.

This increases levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is associated with feelings of pleasure. The body then begins to crave more nicotine to keep dopamine levels high, leading to nicotine addiction.

39% of high school students who vape used e-cigarettes 20 or more days in the past month, according to the most recent data . If nearly two in every five students are using e-cigarettes that frequently, it's likely that they will carry nicotine dependence into adulthood.

E-cigarette companies have been targeting young adults in their marketing for years. And as youth e-cigarette use grows, the social norm becomes more and more accepted and quitting vaping becomes less probable.

4. Widespread adoption results in younger users.

As more young people use e-cigarettes, the average age of first-time e-cigarette users continues to drop. Middle school students are now trying e-cigarettes at younger and younger ages. The CDC reports that 550,000 middle school students currently use e-cigarettes, which is only increasing.

For young teens, early adoption is the result of a domino effect. All it takes is one student with a brother or sister who vapes for the curiosity to set in. And since it's so addictive, the vaping epidemic can spread like wildfire.

5. Vaping e-cigarettes infringes on other students' health and safety.

When students vape at school, it's not just their own health and safety that's at risk. E-cigarette aerosol can have a secondhand impact on those around them, particularly for students with asthma or other respiratory problems.

Secondhand emissions from e-cigarette aerosol can actually be more harmful among students who don't smoke or vape themselves , since they're not used to inhaling the chemicals.

When teen vaping impacts the students and school personnel around them, it is no longer just an individual issue—it becomes a massive public health and safety concern.

What can schools do to address the vaping epidemic?

Across the country, how to stop vaping in schools is becoming a major conversation. To stand up against the teen vaping epidemic, there are eight things that schools should do:

Create an effective vaping policy: A clear and concise vape-free policy is the first step to addressing the problem. The policy should include disciplinary actions for students who violate the rules, as well as education on the risks of vaping.

Increase monitoring and enforcement: To ensure the policy is being followed, schools need to increase schoolwide monitoring for vape-related incidents. This might include more frequent check-ins during lunch or after school, as well as more random locker and backpack searches. It should also include building security cameras and vape detectors in bathrooms and other common areas.

Educate school staff: When staff members are educated on the risks of vaping and how to identify vape-related incidents, they can play a crucial role in prevention. Each school administrator should be trained on the signs of vaping, so they can take action when necessary.

Engage parents: Parents need to be involved in the conversation about teen vaping, both at home and at school. Schools can host parent workshops or send informational pamphlets to a family member to start the dialogue.

Educate students: Many young adults are unaware of the harmful consequences of vaping nicotine. Students need to be educated on the risks of vaping, as well as the school's policy against it. This education should start early—in middle school—to prevent students from ever starting to vape.

Enforce consequences: If students are caught violating the school's vaping policy, they should be subject to disciplinary action. This might include detention, suspension, or even expulsion, depending on the severity of the case. The consequences should be strict enough to deter students from vaping, but not so severe that they are unreasonable.

Provide support and resources for students: Some young people vape because they struggle with other issues, like anxiety, depression, trouble at home, peer pressure, or a psychological issue. In other cases, they need the help from an addiction specialist. Schools should provide support and resources for these students, so they can get the help they need to stop vaping.

Capture student data: Many schools collect data on student vaping, which can help administrators understand the scope of the problem and develop targeted prevention strategies. This data can be collected through surveys, focus groups, or student interviews. It can also be gathered through environmental monitoring systems placed on school grounds.

Track and Capture Vape Events With Verkada

In the fight against vaping on school grounds, monitoring potential vape events is critical to catching students in the act and preventing nicotine addiction.

The Verkada environmental sensor line uses a proprietary algorithm to capture environmental changes, including TVOC, PM2.5, and motion to identify e-cigarette use. By installing environmental sensors in hallways, bathrooms, and locker rooms, schools can be alerted of potential vape events as they happen in real-time.

The Verkada environmental sensors also collect data on vape events, so schools can track the prevalence of vaping over time. Schools can use this data to adjust prevention strategies and target areas that need more attention.

Verkada's comprehensive security solution puts two and two together for school administrators. Cameras, access control, and video management software all come together to create a cohesive security strategy that can be tailored to each school's unique needs.

With Verkada, schools can finally get ahead of the vaping epidemic and create a safer learning environment for all.

🏆 Best Smoking Essay Examples & Topic Ideas

In your essay about smoking, you might want to focus on its causes and effects or discuss why smoking is a dangerous habit. Other options are to talk about smoking prevention or to concentrate on the reasons why it is so difficult to stop smoking. Here we’ve gathered a range of catchy titles for research papers about smoking together with smoking essay examples. Get inspired with us!

Smoking is a well-known source of harm yet popular regardless, and so smoking essays should cover various aspects of the topic to identify the reasons behind the trend.

You will want to discuss the causes and effects of smoking and how they contributed to the persistent refusal of large parts of the population to abandon the habit, even if they are aware of the dangers of cigarettes. You should provide examples of how one may become addicted to tobacco and give the rationales for smokers.

You should also discuss the various consequences of cigarette use, such as lung cancer, and identify their relationship with the habit. By discussing both sides of the issue, you will be able to write an excellent essay.

Reasons why one may begin smoking, are among the most prominent smoking essay topics. It is not easy to begin to enjoy the habit, as the act of smoke inhalation can be difficult to control due to a lack of experience and unfamiliarity with the concept.

As such, people have to be convinced that the habit deserves consideration by various ideas or influences. The notion that “smoking is cool” among teenagers can contribute to the adoption of the trait, as can peer pressure.

If you can find polls and statistics on the primary factors that lead people to tweet, they will be helpful to your point. Factual data will identify the importance of each cause clearly, although you should be careful about bias.

The harmful effects of tobacco have been researched considerably more, with a large body of medical studies investigating the issue available to anyone.

Lung cancer is the foremost issue in the public mind because of the general worry associated with the condition and its often incurable nature, but smoking can lead to other severe illnesses.

Heart conditions remain a prominent consideration due to their lethal effects, and strokes or asthma deserve significant consideration, as well. Overall, smoking has few to no beneficial health effects but puts the user at risk of a variety of concerns.

As such, people should eventually quit once their health declines, but their refusal to do so deserves a separate investigation and can provide many interesting smoking essay titles.

One of the most prominent reasons why a person would continue smoking despite all the evidence of its dangers and the informational campaigns carried out to inform consumers is nicotine addiction.

The substance is capable of causing dependency, a trait that has led to numerous discussions of the lawfulness of the current state of cigarettes.

It is also among the most dangerous aspects of smoking, a fact you should mention.

Lastly, you can discuss the topics of alternatives to smoking in your smoking essay bodies, such as e-cigarettes, hookahs, and vapes, all of which still contain nicotine and can, therefore, lead to considerable harm. You may also want to discuss safe cigarette avoidance options and their issues.

Here are some additional tips for your essay:

• Dependency is not the sole factor in cigarette consumption, and many make the choice that you should respect consciously.
• Cite the latest medical research titles, as some past claims have been debunked and are no longer valid.
• Mortality is not the sole indicator of the issues associated with smoking, and you should take chronic conditions into consideration.

I’m a headteacher – spiked vapes gave two of my pupils a ‘cardiac episode’

Headteacher ben davis has seen 10 incidents of vape spiking at his secondary school and has sent a letter to parents warning them of the dangers  .

Instead of the end-of-break bell, pupils at St Ambrose Barlow RC High School in Manchester heard shouts ringing out across the playground.

Two young boys had been sneaking a drag on a vape before they had to head back to class – only to suddenly collapse on the ground.

It was immediately clear to teachers this was not a case of children mucking around. Shock and fear was written on the faces of nearby pupils.

Swift action saw paramedics on the scene in minutes to treat the two unwell 14-year-old boys before they were taken to hospital.

The teenagers believed they were using ordinary vapes but a drug had been inserted into the liquid. The spiking resulted in what headteacher Ben Davis described to i as a “cardiac episode” for these two Year Nine pupils.

Many vapes used by young people boast childish flavours like blue raspberry or bubblegum on their colourful packaging and are hugely popular with children across the country

The incident that took place last autumn is almost identical to one shared with i by Neil Coe, the headteacher of Westhoughton High School in Bolton. His school has seen two incidents where children fell badly ill after inhaling vapes, with some of the children’s heart rates soaring to more than 150 beats per minute. Both times the spiked vape had been given to them and the youngsters were unaware of what was in them.

In February, five teenagers were rushed to hospital after they were thought to have used a vape spiked with the illegal drug Spice at a school in Eltham, while a child in Teesside had to be treated for an opiate overdose after using a “potentially fatal” spiked vape.

It is a scenario that is playing out across the country, as i reveals new data exposing the levels of spiking among children and teenagers, with incidents involving vapes set to hit record levels this year.

Many schools are afraid of addressing the problem head on, but Mr Davis is today sharing with i the reality of how schools must tackle vape spiking to avoid more children falling ill.

While using a vape pen is not allowed at the school, Mr Davis is pragmatic and reflects that children will always find a way to rebel. However, the issue of vaping behind the bike sheds has become more serious and he is passionate that parents, as well as teachers, need to be alive to the issue.

“It’s very easy for parents to assume that their child won’t do this but the child doesn’t know what they’re inhaling and friends won’t always know what they’re inhaling. One is being passed around and everyone thinks it’s just a vape but in fact, it’s got something in it,” said Mr Davis, whose school has seen around ten incidents of vape spiking.

A lack of education and awareness around vape spiking among pupils and parents worries Mr Davis, who issued a stark warning in a letter sent to parents before the start of the summer term.

He set out tips on spotting vapes that could be spiked and raised concerns that young people may be “tempted to experiment with vapes alone or in places where they cannot quickly get help”, unlike during school where teachers are on hand.

He added: “[Spiked vapes] are very common and readily available to young people, which often means that they are getting them from an older person who is involved in criminal activity and many try to ‘groom’ your child.”

Mr Davis believes many of the children who will be harmed from vape spiking are those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, in part because they are more likely to live in neighbourhoods where gangs that supply substances operate.

Some believe many vape spiking events are pranks that have gone wrong but Mr Davis refutes this. “I can’t think of any instances that I would describe as pranking at all,” he said.

Tackling vaping among pupils is difficult, with educators telling i of pupils sneaking vapes into school disguised to look like highlighter pens and some schools placing a member of staff outside of pupil toilets at all times to disrupt secret vaping.

Mr Davis doesn’t believe that is the right approach for his school.

“We’re not going down the route of permanently supervised loos. We are trying to keep the size of the problem in proportion and I’m not looking at our school thinking the majority of kids are doing this.

“Our evidence suggests it is a minority of children who are at risk from spiked vapes.

“The issue isn’t the numbers of children, it is the level of risk and harm it could bring for the child.”

Instead, Mr Davis’s school takes a non-punitive approach when it comes to drug taking. The school works hard to avoid suspending or excluding pupils who get involved in drugs.

“We try to treat it as an illness, addiction and as something that needs treatment. It’s an issue of wellbeing and to be honest in most cases it’s an issue of poverty and home circumstances. It’s proved quite effective, although it hasn’t been risk-free and it hasn’t been without its challenges.

“The alternative is to say that they can’t attend school at all, and that puts them at greater risk.”

What are vapes.

• Vaping doesn’t have a bad smell to it where as smoking has a horrible odor that sticks to you clothes, hair and fingers and usually perfume and soap can’t cover the smell of this on your hair, clothes and hands until you have a shower. This is because it has an ashy smell that tends to linger when you smoke. This is because ciagarettes contain products like tar and oil. One cigarette can cause all of this and ever a taste and smell of your breath. When you change to Vaping all these smells and tastes go away due to different scents and flavors which make the experience a lot more pleasuring for you and people around you
• It makes your personal view change on various things. A lot of smokers think that they can’t quit and are stuck with smoking, so there isn't really any bother with exercise because smoking makes it harder, or eating healthy, or make better life choices because smoking is already bad for the,. Why start exercising if smoking makes it hard to exercise in the first place? Vaping changes the perspective. Many who switch from smoking to vaping have improvement with depression, obesity, and other chronic issues that they didn’t bother to fix because they thought there was no point.
• It saves you money Vaping is very a lot cheaper in comparison to the cost of cigarettes. Your able to get a starter kit for vaping for around half the price of half a box of cigarettes. After you invest into a good vape, they only thing you will have to pay for is a new coil and the juice you prefer when you begin to run out. According to NerdWallet, if you smoke a pack of cigarettes per day, vaping an equivalent amount will save you almost $1,200
• The experience of vaping is not as harsh as smoking. Vaping is the preferred way to consume medical cannabis because the experience is smoother than it is when smoking. The heat from smoking can be just as bothersome to a person’s air passageways as the chemicals in a cigarette. Because vaping allows you to customize the temperature, you can dial your product to the correct temperature for a more pleasurable experience.
• Vaping will still cause a dry mouth. Nicotine is a stimulant. It will cause your body to get rid of fluids when you use it. That means you still end up with a dry mouth when you’re vaping. But the dry mouth might be so bothering that it might cause someone to switch back to smoking. Usually tho if you have a bottle of water on the ready it will be okay.
• There is a higher risk of an allergic reaction. Many of the different juices that are used in vaping products are based on real food items. If you have a juice that is flavored like walnuts, for example, then there will be walnut products contained in the aerosol produced. If you’re allergic to walnuts, then you could experience an allergic reaction that is similar to what you’d experience if you consumed the actual food. For people with severe allergies to certain food products, it is necessary to avoid flavors that could trigger a food allergy.
• Vaping may come with its own dangers If you choose vaping over smoking, then you’re eliminating the hundreds of chemicals that are present in each cigarette and the smoke it produces. That makes vaping a healthier choice for current smokers. You may, however, be trading one set of problems for another. When using e-cigs, there is evidence of lead, nitrosamines, and formaldehyde exposure, which are known neurotoxins and carcinogens. These toxic items have been found to be equal, if not higher, to what is found in cigarettes.
• Vaping also has an issue with the battery being safe. Vapes usually have rechargeable batteries. These batteries can overheat when used and create contact injuries. In May 2018, The Washington Post reported that an exploding vape pen caused a 38-year-old man from Florida to die because it sent projectiles into his head. The man also suffered burns over 80% of his body in the incident. When you choose your vape make sure it’s the best one even tho thies incidents happen rarely it’s better to be safe then sorry.
