The Issue

Since 2018 the use of e-cigarettes has spiked among teenagers. To solve this isssue we plan on raising awareness among adolescents and teenagers about the hazards of vaping on their health

"E-cigarettes have been allowed on the open market and aggressively marketed to young people. Thirty-four countries ban the sale of e-cigarettes, 88 countries have no minimum age at which e-cigarettes can be bought and 74 countries have no regulations in place for these harmful products."  -- World Health Organization

Through primary sources like personal statements, friendly conversations, etc.. and secondary sources like newspaper articles and other sources, we noticed that many adolescents are extremely unaware of the health hazards of vaping. There is a stereotype established that in vaping you just inhale vapors and then exhale them making it completely safe. This is mainly because of false advertising done by brands selling vapes. But after some thorough research, we came to know that vaping can potentially cause many negative health conditions. Due to this lack of awareness people, especially adolescents, tend to start using vapes regularly, some time ago this use was very small but up until recently, more than 2.1 million adolescents use e-cigarettes.
