Chapter 9 Tobacco and Vaping your classmates have. While listening to your classmates’ presentations, write down any terms or explanations you do not understand. Think Critically 15. Predict. If an adolescent chooses to vape or smoke cigarettes with peers and this behavior continues, predict the impact of this decision on the person’s body, family, and future generations. 16. Identify. List some reasons a young person might try a vaping device for the first time. Why is it difficult for a young person to just say “no” to risky behaviors like vaping or smoking? 17. Compare and contrast. Compare and contrast a cigarette or smokeless tobacco product to a vaping device in terms of health consequences and addiction. 18. Assess. Research and calculate the financial cost of a tobacco addiction. How much would it cost to buy two packs of cigarettes every week for one year? What else could you purchase with this amount of money? 19. Analyze influences. Think about a time you saw tobacco use being glamorized on television, in social media, in magazines, in movies, or in music. What message about tobacco use was being portrayed? Reflect on the influence of this message and write a summary describing the post, picture, show, movie, or song. Based on what you learned in this chapter, how might this message negatively affect young people? 20. Communication skills. Imagine you have a friend or family member who currently smokes, vapes, or chews tobacco. Consider this person’s potential reasons for starting and reasons for potentially continuing use. Using basic, everyday language, write a letter to this person about the harmful effects it has on the body, reasons for quitting, strategies used to quit, and the immediate as well as long-term benefits of quitting. As you write, use respectful language and display empathy. 21. Access information and advocacy skills. Create a flyer or brochure that provides information on steps for quitting nicotine. In your flyer or brochure, include motivation such as financial and health benefits, behaviors that will help, and local resources that can assist. Consider the difficulty of overcoming nicotine addiction and include strategies for doing so. Include vocabulary from the chapter. Present your flyer or brochure to the class. 22. Teamwork and advocacy skills. In small groups, create a public service announcement (PSA) discouraging vaping or tobacco use at your school. Include the following information in the PSA: short- and long-term health effects and strategies to refuse. Emphasize that most young people are not using tobacco. Practice and record a video of your PSA. With teacher permission, request that your PSA be shown during the morning announcements. DEVELOP Your Skills 1 2
