Health discovery topic Vaping

 In health, we have been asked to do discovery tasks. I have chosen the topic of Vaping. for this I need to research my topic to answer some questions. We were asked to pic six questions about our topic and answer them. We had to come up with Strategies to help someone and then I made a picture collage relating to the topic. 

Why do people vape? Vaping is cheaper than smoking and is easier to buy. It is only available for people over 18 to buy legally. This doesn’t stop young people from buying it. Some people think that vaping is cool or do it because their friends do it. Some people think that vaping is healthier than smoking cigarettes.

What are the dangers of vaping? Vaping is unhealthy for your lungs. It can cause lung disease and damage to them. It can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, heart attacks, seizures, cancer, and addiction. It can cause the same dangers as smoking.

Who do I know that vapes? I have family members and friends that vape. Some use to smoke now they vape.

How does vaping affect people? It can make them have shortness of breath, cough, headaches, bad breath, dry mouth. Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but still has risks. A second-hand vaper can have dangerous effects on others just like smoking. It is not good for young children or people with asthma.

When did vaping start? The first idea was made in 1927 by a man called Joesph Robinson, but it was first made by a Chinese pharmacist his name was Hon Lik he made it after his father died of lung cancer, and being a smoker himself wanted to try and quit.

Is vaping better than smoking? Vaping is not harmless as it still has the same risks but research shows it’s the healthier option as it reduces the risks. Personally, i think that both are as bad as each other.
