What What Works Works? ? HealthLiteracy Resilient & Thoughtful Student Health Promoting Classrooms *New way to impact students about drugs slides

Developing Health Literacy True or False Vaping Using the chat function and type true or false if you know the answer

Grade 6 is a common age to first try vaping Over 90% vape juice has nicotine Only 13% of youth thought their vape juice had nicotine In one e-juice pod is equivalent to 20 cigarettes worth 31% of e-cig users started smoking within 6 months The company that makes and markets JUUL recently exceeded a $10 billion valuation faster than any company, including Facebook JUUL delivers high levels of nicotine (more than a cigarette), making the product extremely addictive 70% of youth are regularly targeted with e-cig advertisements Flavours like cotton candy, and strawberry cover the taste of heavy metals Second hand smoke settles on household furniture/fabrics and contain cancer causing particles and nicotine Vaping is linked to popcorn lung (scaring/narrowing of airways) **Popcorn lung was first discovered when workers in a popcorn factory developed breathing problems after inhaling diacetyl, a chemical that is used to give foods a buttery flavor. Diacetyl is also found in some liquids that are inhaled through an e-cigarette. Vaping is a gateway drug to cocaine and smoking Youth were tricked/duped by marketers who own big tobacco (Malboro for example) Smoking rates declined since the 1960s but now there is a new generation of nicotine addicts and smokers Vaping is only recommended for 2 pack a day smokers

Health Promoting Classrooms Check yourself: Perfect I need ..a coffee/tea/Tylenol I am so tired today That s bad/wrong if you You re good/right if you Look for cognitive distortions and thinking traps: Black or white thinking most of life is grey (no always , never , forever etc.) Catastrophizing Knowing the future Challenging negative thinking tool

-The Opportunity!! Optimal age for a discussion around internal/external locus of control why do we do what we do? Optimal age for decision making what feels right for me and what is not something I want for myself forming a sense of identity Brains have developed enough to understand the grey in life and the continuum of use
