Themes of The Workshop
The psychology behind why teenagers find vaping appealing
Teenagers are naturally drawn to risk-taking and the need to fit in. Social media and peer influence further amplify the appeal of vaping, often presenting it as trendy and harmless. Vape companies exploit this by using targeted marketing tactics, such as sweet flavours and sleek designs, to attract young users – ultimately hoping to get young users hooked early to maximise their profits.
The consequences of vaping
While vaping is often seen as a ‘safer’ alternative to smoking, this workshop explains that it carries serious health risks. Nicotine addiction can impact brain development, leading to difficulties with memory, concentration, and impulse control. Additionally, vaping can cause respiratory issues and expose users to harmful chemicals, with long-term effects still being studied.
Strategies to resist peer pressure
Resisting peer pressure starts with having confidence. This workshop will allow students to practice assertive responses, such as calmly saying no or suggesting alternatives. Surrounding themselves with supportive friends and understanding the real risks of vaping can also help them stand by their decisions without feeling left out.
