STUDENT HEALTHOur number one concern

Most vaping paraphernalia contains the chemical nicotine, which is addictive. When you stop using it, you can go into withdrawal and feel depressed and irritable. Nicotine isn't good for people with heart problems. And some research shows it may cause harm to your arteries.

It can also:• Harm the developing brains of children and could affect memory and

attention.• Damage unborn babies. Pregnant women shouldn't use anything with

nicotine.• May affect the insulin levels in the body which may be severe for people

with diabetes.

contain tobacco)• Devices are available that charge just like cell phones.• One slang term for vaping, known as JUULing, comes from
