PADANG (March 11, 2020) - Laboratory Installation of Professional Social Work and
Media Practices Laboratory of the Center for Education and Training (BBPPKS)
Padang Promotes Vape Hazards to Youths at SMPN 7 Kota Pariaman, West Sumatra.
In
this socialization, BBPPKS Padang gave an explanation of the Dangers of this
Vape.
The
assumptions that exist in the community who consider Vape safer to smoke than
cigarettes are beyond mistaken.
Nicotine,
a dangerous substance contained in cigarettes is also available on Vape.
Everything can cause addiction (craving), headache, depression, lung cancer
and narrowing of blood vessels, as well as heart attacks which lead to death.
In
addition to children, nicotine exposure from Vape can discuss brain development
and improve memory. The long-term effects of nicotine cause life problems in
children such as mental health problems, problem problems, and actual changes
in brain structure.
This
information is what would be conveyed by the Installation of the Professional
Practice Laboratory of Social Work and the Media of the Padang Social Welfare
Education and Training Center (BBPPKS) through the Vape Hazard Socialization
event on Tuesday (10/3).
At
the time of socialization, it was revealed the fact of the 30 students, 99%
agreed to be exposed to Vape, both for fun and fulfilling curiosity due to
association. But there are also those who claim to use wine because they like
the taste, coffee and wine are their favorite choices.
Of
course this is quite surprising and needs to be the attention and concern of
all parties to prevent the widespread expenditure of Vape use on children and
adolescents considering the importance it causes.
The
Vape Hazard Socialization Activity for Teenagers at SMPN 7 School took place
using a fun method. Submission of material presented is also interactive.
It
is expected that participants stop using Vape and don't try to buy again, also
they can learn to learn and not easily discuss negative things that are
obtained from peers, the environment and the internet.
The
activity was attended by 30 students from grade 7 and 8.
