Teen Vaping PowerPoint
Transcript: By: Kenadie Schmutz Teenage Vaping The Effects of Teen Vaping Teenage Vaping can affect many ways a still developing Teenager interacts with a fellow student at school or interactions that may occur at home as well as at jobs. Teenagers are affected by vaping by a slower brain function, memory, concentration, learning, self-control, attention, and mood. The side effects that would affect life at school would be the side effects such as brain function and memory. Teenagers who are vaping will not be able to engage in activities to the maximum potential they could compared to other students who are not pumping this chemical into their bodies. These side effects also affect the ways a teenager would learn a lesson, initially affecting tests and homework the student is required to do while in school. These chemicals affect your attitude and mood, which will affect how you do certain things and act. Areas where these side effects can affect home life, would be self-control and mood. Often teenagers who have already started this addiction cannot stop and will not stop. Once a teenager has created this addiction, it is more likely for the teenager to switch to E-cigarettes and eventually cigarettes teenagers who half a nicotine addiction are more susceptible to alcohol abuse as well. For teenagers, vaping can affect every aspect of their everyday life, and the teenagers who have started this addiction will more than likely not be able to stop. Marketing Techniques Ways Teenagers are tied in through marketing There are many ways multi-million dollar companies reach out to teenagers. One of these techniques would be the flavors these companies produce; there are over fifteen thousand different flavors that consumers can choose from. Because of the wide range of different flavors of juices, it makes vaping even more appealing for consumers, including teenagers, who want to buy these horrible chemicals. Another marketing technique these companies use is devices you can vape through that can easily be hidden. Devices include vaping hoodies, backpacks, phone cases, pens, smart watches, and USB drives that can easily be hidden while a teenager is at school. These addictions ravage a teenager's way of thinking, and the only thing an addicted teenager would be worried or concerned about is when they can vape again or essentially get their next fix. There are more than four hundred different types of vaping devices. The wide range of options makes it even more appealing to consumers; many consumers are teenagers. These vaping companies also have a big social media market. Marketing on Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube platforms makes these vape products more known to teenagers by seeing them in ads. These social media platforms are popular among teenagers, not coincidentally. The Exposure Theory Theory The theory that I had chosen for my paper was the Exposure Theory. This is a theory that states; individuals' tendency to favor information that reinforces their pre-existing views while avoiding contradictory information. It ties with teen vaping because many teenagers are exposed to teen vaping, and the ones exposed are more susceptible to starting the addiction themselves.
