Overview

This free video resource from PBS LearningMedia can be used to teach students the dangers of vaping.  Between 2011 - 2012, the use of e-cigarettes amongst 6th - 12th graders more than doubled. Youth Radio looks at the new trend of vaping, and why it's popular among young people. Do vape pens trick teens? That is the focus of this activity. Students should watch the video to facilitate discussion before the activity. Then students can participate in the suggested activities including an interview, reflection questions, and a class debate (included under support materials).

This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.

Sensitive: This resource contains material that may be sensitive for some students. Teachers should exercise discretion in evaluating whether this resource is suitable for their class.
