Brief Summary

The overall goal of this study is to increase knowledge of vaping and its associated risks. This study will find the patterns of vaping, and how it all started among adolescents. Investigators want to know if students are aware of the serious and long term effects of vaping. This program titled, "To Vape or Not to Vape", will provide education to adolescents and young adults about the potential risk of vaping in an effort to assist with lowering the usage rates within the population. Content will include information about current statistics, potential short-term and long-term side-effects, and healthy alternatives for dealing with stress and peer-pressure. Investigators anticipate that this program will increase this population's knowledge about the risks of vaping products, and deter them from future use of the products. Effectiveness of this program will be measured by pre and post-tests. Investigators believe this program will make at least 50 percent of the participants more aware of the dangers and consequences of vaping, potentially lowering the rates of those participating in this habit while also preventing others from starting.
