About this Lesson
E-cigarettes originated as a way to help adults quit smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. They may not contain tobacco, but they still contain lots of other harmful chemicals. Unfortunately, teens have become the biggest group to use e-cigarettes. Join us to learn more about the harmful impacts of vaping with e-cigarettes.
This lesson is based on “Mechanisms of e-cigarette vape-induced epithelial cell damage” in the journal Cells and “How safe is vaping?” in Science Journal for Kids and Teens.

Transcript
Hey everyone. Welcome to an interactive lesson by Science Journal for Kids and Teens. This is a lesson about e-cigarette use and the health impacts of vaping. Scientific research reveals that vaping can cause inflammation, DNA damage, and potentially cancer.
This is especially important as the number of teens using e-cigarettes continues to rise around the world. Because e-cigarettes have only gained popularity recently, research is still being conducted to figure out their harmful effects. Over the next decades we will likely learn a lot more.
This interactive lesson is based on peer-reviewed academic research and follows the sections of a scientific paper: introduction, methods, results, and discussion. Start each section by watching a short video with information for you. Then you can see a list of key points. Make sure you take the time to explore our interactive videos, graphs, and diagrams in this section. The last part of each section is a collection of checkpoint questions to make sure you’ve understood the information. You can even check your answers and retry the questions.
After you’ve worked your way through all sections of the lesson, take the final quiz to demonstrate your understanding of the research. Be careful here because you cannot check your answers along the way or retry questions like you could before. Once you’re done, you’ll see your score and the questions you missed.
Finally, you’ll get to a summary screen. You might want to take a screenshot and share it with your teacher to show that you completed the lesson.
We hope you learn a lot and have fun along the way! Thanks for interacting with us here at Science Journal for Kids!
