Garnet Valley CTC Quick Tip #19 2017-2018
Statistics are taken from the 2015 Pennsylvania Youth Survey results for Garnet Valley - 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th graders.
Did you know? 88.2% of 6th graders who used a Vape/Juul pen had no idea what they were inhaling but used it anyway. An average of 26% of 8th, 10th and 12th graders also had no idea. Vapes/Juuls (e-cigarettes) are not safe even when they do not contain nicotine.
Recently, scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill exposed human lung cells to 13 e-cigarette flavorings. Exposures lasted either 30 minutes or a full day. Five of the flavorings — hot cinnamon candies, banana pudding, kola, vanilla and menthol tobacco — affected the cells. Sometimes the treated cells no longer could replicate (reproduce) at normal rates. At high doses, these flavorings even killed the cells.
Call to action… Treat Vapes/Juuls (e-cigarettes) the same way you would treat any substance that is harmful for children and youth.
