Teens discover the advantages of scentless cannabis vaping 

In order to attempt to tackle the vast issue of underage vaping, we’ve compiled some information about how vaping works — studies that have been done on whether it’s safe, if it helps people quit, how individual devices work, as well as a glossary of terms that may prove useful when reading up on vaping.

Flavor, peer pressure, “cool” factor among reasons teens start vaping

Imagine that you’re sitting with a friend, they’re vaping, and suddenly they start to choke on the aerosol they’re inhaling. In an effort to save them, you go through a door that transports you to “smoke city,” an alternate reality where tobacco rules. From there, you have to complete a series of tasks and tests in order to find your friend, who’s still having a negative reaction to the vape. That’s the premise of ASPIRE (A Smoking Prevention Interactive Experience), a game developed to help educate young people on the impacts of tobacco and nicotine.
