My name is Sid Thakker and I’m a rising senior at James Madison High School. Throughout my high school life, I've seen e-cigarettes really develop. So, from ninth grade, it wasn't that big of an issue, but as I moved on to 10th and 11th grade, the issue became rampant. Many kids were caught with vapes, with using an e-cigarette. The incidence rates almost went up to 25 percent. So, one in every four students were using one. And this was really concerning for me and my principal. From 10th grade to 11th grade, we saw e-cigarette detectors in bathrooms. We saw security patrolling the hallways to making sure kids weren't skipping class and using the bathrooms to vape in. And so, we really saw how this problem became not just an issue for kids, but an issue for school security. That dopamine is the main chemical that makes you hooked onto the substance. It gives you that high, is what’s makes it addictive. My non-profit or NicRreport has really strived to create a curriculum that's not just inclusive on the factors of e-cigarettes and why it's such a big problem, but we really hope to teach students ways to say ‘no’ to using these e-cigarettes. One problem we really face is that kids often don't want to be using them but are often peer pressured into using them. So, the curriculum we developed for health class was really used to help educate students on the social dangers that are around it and the emotional factors around it. And we also created another curriculum in biology class. And here we really wanted to focus on educating students on the dangers of e-cigarettes internally. We focused on how e-cigarettes affect cells, how they affect our organelles. In total, we've been able to impact over 3,000 students and teachers. If I'm able to get successful results within the …. We had a chance to talk to over 100 parents on exactly what I'm doing at our school and why this is such a big issue.
One student that I was talking with, he was a really big athlete at our school. And after learning about the side effects of vaping on lung capacity and how much air actually runs through his lungs, he was really shocked to see. And it really persuaded him not to be using the device anymore. Now we’re planning on actually moving to a couple other high schools. Sid's efforts at educating his fellow classmates and young people everywhere about the dangers of vaping is going to be critical to stopping this epidemic. There is a perception that it is “safer” than conventional cigarettes and conventional tobacco products even though we don't really know that. The rapid uptake is probably a product of very sophisticated and careful marketing. It is marketed as safer. It is marketed as a good way to help quitting smoking. From a lung standpoint or a pulmonary standpoint, there had been up to 2,000 cases reported of what is termed vaping-induced lung disease, where a user suddenly gets a severe lung injury. The ongoing use of cigarettes, probably combined with these other products, causes continual damage to the cardiovascular system. A big lesson from COVID-19 is, you have to maintain your health in any way possible. And something that is in people's control is, don’t get started with smoking or vaping products. We're in our pristine years and we're at an all-time high. I really hate to see kids really ruin their internal body through this chemical that’s really just useless.

我叫希德·萨克，是詹姆斯·麦迪逊高中的准毕业生。电子烟的发展贯穿了我的高中生活。所以，在我上九年级的时候，电子烟还不成气候。但当我升到十年级和十一年级的时候，电子烟就开始变得猖獗。许多孩子被抓到抽电子烟。吸烟率几乎上升到了25%。也就是说，每四名学生中就有一名学生抽电子烟。我和校长对这个现象都感到忧虑。十年级升十一年级的时候，学校在厕所装了烟雾探测器。保安人员会在走廊里巡逻，以确保孩子们不会逃课去洗手间抽电子烟。最终我们发现，抽烟从学生的问题，变成了学校安保的问题。多巴胺就是能够让你上瘾的主要化学物质。多巴胺给了你快感，让你上瘾。我所在的非营利组织NicRreport一直在努力开设一门课程，不仅教授电子烟的成分以及电子烟成为大问题的原因，我们也真的希望教会学生如何对抽电子烟说不。我们真正面临的一个问题是，孩子们通常并不想抽电子烟，但经常迫于同伴的压力而不得不抽。因此，我们为健康课开发的课程实际上是用来帮助学生了解吸烟的社会危险和情感因素。我们还在生物课上开设了另一门课程。我们真的想在这门课上着重教育学生有关电子烟对身体的危害。我们会着重讲述电子烟对我们的细胞和细胞器的影响过程。我们总共带动了3000名师生。如果我们得到成功的结果... 我们有机会和100多位家长讨论我在学校的具体工作以及为什么电子烟是一个大问题。
一个和我之前交谈过的一个学生，是我们学校的体育健儿。在了解到抽电子烟对肺活量的副作用以及有多少废气流经他的肺部后，他感到非常惊讶。这真的说服了他戒掉电子烟。现在我们计划在另外几所高中也开始进行类似的教育。希德努力教育他的同班同学和其他年轻人，让他们了解抽电子烟的危害，这对阻止吸烟流行来说至关重要。有种看法认为电子烟比传统香烟和传统烟草制品“更安全”，尽管我们并未证实这一点。孩子们迅速接受电子烟产品可能是狡猾、细致的市场营销的产物。他们把电子烟包装成更安全的东西。他们把电子烟包装成戒烟的好方法。从肺的角度来看，电子烟已经引起了多达2000例患者患有肺部相关疾病，让使用者突然遭受严重的肺损伤。长期抽电子烟和其他类似产品会对心血管系统造成持续的损害。我们从新冠获得的一个重要教训就是要尽量保持健康。而人们可以控制的是不要抽烟或吸食电子烟产品。孩子们正处于一尘不染的纯真阶段，时刻都很兴奋。我真的很讨厌看到孩子们因为吸食这种毫无用处的化学物质而造成身体损伤。
