Vaping is a growing problem among students, with many becoming addicted to nicotine at a young age. Despite warnings about health risks, such as lung damage and, just in general, addiction, it remains popular due to the flavors and the misconception that it’s safe.

The best way to encourage students to avoid vaping is by showing them real-life stories of people who have been affected and also offering healthier alternatives instead.
“I know for a fact that people would take vaping more seriously if they knew actual people and what they went through,” Alexa said.
