TITLE: Vaping

OVERVIEW:

Vaping devices are battery operated devices that people use to inhale aerosol which contains fewer

number and lower levels most toxicant than does smoke from combustible tobacco cigarettes. Also, this

device has percentage of nicotine.

OBJECTIVES:

1. define vaping

2. realize consequences of taking vape

3. explain how vape went to our lungs, and

4. state the effects of vape to human being.

WHAT IS VAPING?

 Vaping simulates smoking battery powered vape devices create an aerosol that looks like water

vapor but contains nicotine, flavoring and more than 30 other chemicals. The aerosol is inhaled

into the lungs where the nicotine and chemicals cross over into the bloodstream. The earliest vape

devices looked like cigarettes. Newer models look like a USB flash drive or small pod. Vapes come

in many shapes and sizes but they have the same basic components including a battery sensor

and atomizer/flavor cartridge. The e-liquid is quickly heated and converted to an aerosol that can

be inhaled into the lungs.

VAPING HELPS PEOPLE STOP SMOKING

 The U.S Food and Drug Administration has not found vaping to be safe and effective in helping

smokers quit. One study found that vaping was more effective than other nicotine replacement

therapies in helping people quit cigarettes so they stopped using cigarettes so they were still

getting nicotine and other dangerous chemicals. The study also noted that vaping makes teens

more likely to start smoking.

VAPING IS SAFER THAN SMOKING?

 Cigarettes contain poisons, toxic metal, and carcinogens that enter the body with every puff.

Vapers also breathe in dangerous chemicals such as acetone, which is used as a solvent. Acetone

may irritate the skin and eyes when you come into contact with it. Other chemicals in vape may

cause cancer over time.

VAPING PRODUCES HARMLESS WATER VAPOR

 Even though the term “vapor” is normally used, vape devices do not produce water vapor. Vaping

produces an aerosol mist. Unlike water vapor the aerosol mist includes ultra-fine particles that are

breathed into the lungs.
