Plan for Health Promotion

Tobacco usage is the largest preventable cause of death in the United States and

throughout the world. According to a 2021 report released by the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC), more than 16 million Americans are living with a disease induced by

smoking. In 2018, the Surgeon General's Advisory on E-Cigarette Usage Among Youth stated

that e-cigarette use grew by 78 percent among high school students over the previous year, and

that one in five high school students and one in twenty middle school students now use

ecigarettes (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.-a). Tobacco usage kills

more than 7 million people worldwide each year. If the global smoking habit does not alter,

more than 8 million people will die each year from tobacco-related diseases by 2030 (Miech et

al., 2019).

E-cigarette use is extremely dangerous for children, adolescents, and young adults.

Because the majority of e-cigarettes contain nicotine derived from tobacco, they are classified

as tobacco products. Nicotine is the principal active ingredient in both conventional cigarettes

and electronic cigarettes, and it is extremely addictive. It may have a detrimental effect on

adolescent brain development, which extends until the early to mid-20s. Nicotine also produces

cravings for cigarettes and withdrawal symptoms. It is a poisonous drug that elevates blood

pressure and adrenaline levels, hence increasing heart rate and the risk of having a heart attack.

Apart from nicotine, e-cigarettes may contain hazardous or potentially harmful chemicals, such

as ultrafine particles that can enter the lungs deeply (Overbeek et al., 2020). Vaping has been

linked to an upsurge of lung damage and deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) documented 2,807 cases of e-cigarette or vaping-related lung damage (EVALI)

and 68 deaths associated with the illness in February 2020.

Adolescent Health Promotion

Miech et al., (2019) cites three reasons why e-cigarettes may be particularly appealing

to young people. To begin, many teenagers assume vaping is a less dangerous alternative to

smoking. Second, e-cigarettes are less expensive per use than conventional cigarettes. Finally,

both youth and adults appreciate the absence of smoke. Due to their lack of odor, e-cigarettes
