  • There are many different kinds of Vapes and E-Cigs
  • They all use heat to vaporize a liquid as an alternative to smoking cigarettes
  • They are marketed as an alternative/healthier way to consume nicotine
  • Below are common types of Vaping devices

JD

slide-8
SLIDE 8

FIRST GENERATION DEVICES

  • Devices designed to look like traditional cigarettes
  • “cigalikes”
  • Battery-operated, originally composed of 3 pieces:
  • A Battery to provide power
  • Atomizer, providing heat
  • A Cartridge that holds liquid and flavoring
slide-9
SLIDE 9
slide-10
SLIDE 10

SECOND GENERATION DEVICES

  • Devices are larger and typically do not resemble a cigarette
  • Different sizes, shapes, and colors.
  • Large, separate cartridges or “tanks” for liquids and flavorings.
slide-11
SLIDE 11
slide-12
SLIDE 12

THIRD GENERATION DEVICES

  • Like second generation devices, but are typically larger.
  • Contain different cartridge, atomizer, and battery options
  • Produce higher heating element temperatures and produces more

heat and impacts the amount of the aerosol.

  • Overheating has been a problem.

E-CIGARETTES – JUUL DEVICE

  • Popular e-cigarettes like JUUL have developed new technologies utilizing nicotine

salts that are absorbed into the body more effectively and come in record-high levels of nicotine.

  • JUUL pod can contain much more nicotine than regular cigarettes.
  • Come in a wide variety of fruit and other flavors that appeal to youth.
  • Easily hidden, have limited odor
  • Aerosol that disappears quickly enabling youth to use them in public places.
  • JUUL controls over 50 percent of the E-Cig market

E-CIGARETTES: RATES OF USE

  • The 2017 Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey (MYTS) revealed that one in four middle

school and high school students (25.9 percent) reported having tried an e-cigarette at least once.

  • The portion of students that had tried e-cigarettes increased with each grade in

school.

  • In 2017, about one in two high school seniors had tried e-cigarettes. A larger

portion of students had tried e-cigarettes than conventional cigarettes (25.9 percent vs. 20.2 percent).

E-CIGARETTES

  • Larger disparities exist among racial and ethnic groups. A larger share of students

that identified as American Indian, Hispanic, or multiple races (non-Hispanic) reported having ever used e-cigarettes.

  • These patterns among subgroups are consistent with the 2016 Minnesota Student

Survey data on past 30-day use of e-cigarettes.

E-CIGARETTES: SLANG

  • e-cigs
  • e-hookahs
  • hookah pens
  • vapes
  • vape pens
  • mods (customizable, more powerful vaporizers)

Whether done on purpose or not the different types of vapes/tobacco products look a lot like items your kids would normally have in a back pack.

JD

slide-23
SLIDE 23
  • The JUUL is a small device that is easily concealed
  • There is little smell from the smoke making it easier to conceal
  • It looks like a USB Drive – it is charged by plugging it into a USB Port
  • Less irritation to the lungs when smoking the vape making it easier to start
  • The flavors are teen friendly with many fruity flavors
  • There is a much higher nicotine level in JUUL products versus other E-Cigs
  • 1 JUUL Pod is equal in nicotine to 1 pack of cigarettes
  • JUUL has 59 milligrams per milliliter of oil versus only 6-30 milligrams in most other E-Cigs

JD

slide-24
SLIDE 24
  • The vape oil is often flavored
  • The flavors vary but are often fruit flavored
  • There is no cigarette smoke smell
  • The vaporized liquid is not as irritating to the respiratory system
  • Vaping can be done much more covertly than traditional cigarettes
  • Vaping is seen as more socially acceptable
  • Vaping is a trendy form of smoking that is often seen as cool by teens

  • With the growth in using Vapes to consume nicotine the use of the same

devices to smoke THC wax/oils has grown (Dabbing)

  • Benefits of Vaping the wax/oils include:
  • Less smell in consuming it when using the Vapes
  • Easier to conceal
  • Can easily add the wax/oil to the normal nicotine vaping liquid
  • Not as recognizable as marijuana/THC as traditional blunts or dugouts

CANNABIS : CONCENTRATES

  • One comparison can be an espresso machine: as the water passes

through the ground coffee beans it strips them of their oils (which contain the caffeine, flavor, and aroma) into a filtered, highly concentrated solution.

  • One popular extraction method uses butane, a highly flammable

solvent, which is put through an extraction tube filed with marijuana.

  • This method is dangerous because butane is a very explosive

substance, has resulted in many explosions and accidents in houses, apartments, etc.

  • MANY videos on YouTube on how to manufacture.

  • There is a current trend towards consuming marijuana wax or oils instead of

traditional marijuana

  • Waxes/Oils can have up to 8 times higher THC levels than natural marijuana

leading to a much stronger and longer lasting high

  • The wax/oils do not have the typical strong smell of marijuana and therefore are

easier to store and consume

  • The wax is usually a yellow/honey like color and is often the consistency of butter,

honey, or can be hard

slide-39

CANNABIS : CONCENTRATES - SLANG

“Dabbing”: Using an e- cigarette/vaporizer to ingest marijuana concentrates is commonly referred to as “dabbing” or “vaping”.

slide-40
SLIDE 40

CANNABIS : CONCENTRATES - SLANG

Also known as: 710 (the word “OIL” flipped and spelled backwards), wax, ear wax, honey oil, budder, butane is hash oil, butane honey oil (BHO), shatter, dabs, black glass, and errl.

slide-41

  • E-Cigarette use/possession falls under the tobacco statutes
  • Monetary Fine
  • Possible Educational Class
  • THC use/possession falls under controlled substance statutes
  • Regular (plant form) marijuana is a petty misdemeanor
  • Monetary Fine
  • Possible Educational Class
  • THC oil used to smoke marijuana using vaping devices is a felony
  • Will have a court date with the juvenile court
  • Depending on priors consequences can vary widely
  • Community Service, Probation, Education Classes, Court Ordered Counseling. Fine, Etc.

  • Online Sales
  • Buying through an 18 year old
  • History repeats itself; Gas station attendees, other business

staff who may not be properly carding minors.

  • Illicit sales, drug dealers who sell pre-packaged THC

concentrate e-cigarettes.

“Facebook sucks!” – A young person, 2018

slide-45
SLIDE 45
  • Growing numbers of teenagers are buying illegal drugs on social media sites such

as Instagram and Snapchat.

  • Social media sellers use hashtags and emojis to communicate what they stock, and

also share images of the substances.

  • Alternative contact details are provided, and most transactions take place on other

platforms such as the encrypted messenger application Wickr.

slide-46
SLIDE 46
  • Social media drug dealers work not to be noticed. Instead, they choose apps like Instagram,

Tinder, Grindr, Kik, Whisper, or YikYak, which allow users to create pseudonyms or remain anonymous with accounts.

  • Some precautions social media drug dealers make: doing sales transactions in person

rather than online, or accepting payment via Amazon gift cards as opposed to traceable accounts.

  • Anyone looking for marijuana can simply look up #weed4sale or #kush4sale, and if they’re

looking for specific “recreational drugs,” then they can easily find them under their specific names, like #mdma or #oxycontin.

slide-47
SLIDE 47
  • On Instagram, users might look for photos that display piles of opioid pills or powder

behind a Crema filter to bring out their whiteness, or an some nugs (A nug is the slang term for a chunk of the bud material of high-quality cannabis. It’s a shortened form of “nuggets, ”and refers to the way pieces of bud look once they have been removed from the plant, dried and cured) and acid paper accentuated by trippy Perpetua to get users in the mood.

  • Deals on Tinder are just a matter of swiping right until you find a local match.
  • And then once they’ve found their next hit, it could be taken to another app like Kik or

Whisper, where anonymous direct messaging apps where social media drug dealers can be places to detail plans for payment and delivery.

SMOKING CESSATION:

  • Lack of evidence on dual use

concerns.

  • Gateway of e-cigarettes to

traditional tobacco use.

slide-70
SLIDE 70

GATEWAY TO TRADITIONAL TOBACCO USE:

  • A study of more than 44,000 school children in Canada found

"strong evidence" that e-cigarettes are associated using tobacco cigarettes, contrary to recent studies that have suggested vaping helps people quit tobacco.

  • Researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada

followed 44,163 high school students for one year.

  • They put them into six groups: current daily smokers,
  • ccasional smokers, former smokers, experimental smokers,

puffers and those who have never tried smoking.

  • E-cigarette users were found to have higher prevalence of

tobacco use in the last 30 days.

slide-71
SLIDE 71

E-CIGARETTES: HARM REDUCTION?

  • Current controversy: Perceived as less harmful
  • Harms are largely untested with controlled studies.
  • Multiple studies are ongoing and needed.
  • Many devices developed and marketed by the tobacco industry.
  • Future impact on tobacco prevalence and cessation rates is a debated topic

and largely unknown.

Acrolein: Lung and eye irritant Formaldehyde: Lung and eye irritant and known carcinogen Acetaldehyde: Eye, nose and throat irritant. Has caused nasal cancer in animal testing. Nicotyrine: Inconclusive risks, however could increase risks of liver injury following various liver diseases. Glycidol: Skin, eye, mucous membrane, and upper respiratory tract irritant and may also cause central nervous system depression followed by stimulation. Diacetyl: Industrial exposure has resulted in rare and serious lung diseases; “popcorn lung” Acetone: Nose, throat, lung, and eye irritant. Can cause intoxication, headache, fatigue, increase pulse, mental confusion and changes to menstrual cycles in women. Glycerine: Respiratory tract and skin irritant. Has been proven to cause kidney damage. Propylene Glycol: Upper respiratory tract and eye irritant. Can case allergic reaction leading to skin inflammation. Principal ingredient in vapor Benzaldehyde: Used in perfumes to provide scent.

E-CIGARETTES: HEALTH RISKS

  • Overall, significantly fewer chemicals than in combustible cigarettes (40-60

versus 7000)

  • Some flavorings associated with known health risks; 31
  • Tin, silver, iron, lead, copper, nickel, and aluminum.
  • Concentrations of nickel are higher than conventional cigarettes
slide-75
SLIDE 75

E-CIGARETTES: HEALTH RISKS

  • Immediate effects on lung function and nitric oxide levels can vary but still

consistent with conventional cigarettes.

  • Lipoid pneumonia attributed to e-cig use in a young woman
  • Cardiovascular Concerns: Arrhythmias and hypertension with e-cigarette use

have been reported

slide-76
SLIDE 76
  • Besides highly addictive nicotine, e-cigarettes can contain harmful and potentially

harmful ingredients, including:

  • Ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs
  • Flavorants such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to serious lung disease; “popcorn

lung”

  • Volatile organic compounds such as benzene, which is found in car exhaust.
  • Heavy metals, such as nickel, tin, and lead
  • $$$$$$$$
  • “We don’t know what a e-cigarette user will look like in 30 years”
  • Legal consequences with THC concentrates/edibles.

NICOTINE FACTS

slide-78
SLIDE 78
  • Highly addictive
  • Can cause cognitive impairments in a developing brain
  • Can cause behavioral impairments in a developing brain
  • Can lead to dependence and the later use of other forms of tobacco

JD

slide-79
SLIDE 79

NICOTINE FACTS:

  • Nicotine which is known as a stimulant and impacts the same part of the

brain as amphetamine and cocaine.

  • Nicotine acts directly on the heart changing a persons heart rate and blood

pressure

JD

slide-80
SLIDE 80

NICOTINE FACTS:

  • It acts on the nerves that control respiration to change breathing patterns
  • Nicotine stimulates the brain, creating the feeling of pleasure;

Dopamine and Acetylcholine.

  • Nicotine is as addictive as heroin or cocaine.

JD

slide-81
SLIDE 81

NICOTINE RISK FOR TEENS: TRADITIONAL TOBACCO

  • People who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quitting,

and fewer than 1 in 10 people are successful in quitting when they try.

  • Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability and death

in the United States.

  • For every 1 person that dies, 33 more suffer from 1 serious illness that is

tobacco related

  • Smoking accounts for one-third of all cancers, including 90% of lung cancer

cases

slide-82
SLIDE 82

Total population of Minneapolis: 413,651

slide-83
SLIDE 83

More than 480,000 premature deaths happen in the United States each year from smoking and exposure to second hand smoke.

Tobacco kills more Minnesotans than alcohol, homicides, car accidents, AIDS, illegal drugs, and suicide combined.

slide-84
SLIDE 84

NICOTINE FACTS: ADDICTION AND WITHDRAWAL

Most common symptoms of nicotine withdrawal:

  • Irritability
  • Problems with thinking and paying attention
  • Sleep problems
  • Increased appetite
  • Craving which can last 6 months or longer
  • Depression
  • Headaches
slide-85
SLIDE 85

NICOTINE AND THE DEVELOPING BRAIN:

slide-86
SLIDE 86

NICOTINE AND THE DEVELOPING BRAIN:

  • Until about age 25, the brain is still growing.
  • Young people's brains build synapses faster than adult brains.
  • Because addiction is a form of learning, adolescents can get addicted more

easily than adults.

  • The nicotine in e-cigarettes and other tobacco products can also prime the

adolescent brain for addiction to other drugs; stimulants.

slide-87
SLIDE 87
  • Review credible information. Arm up on facts.
  • Avoid criticism and encourage an open dialogue; roll with

resistance.

  • Encouraging a conversation, not a lecture.
  • Conversation can take place over time in increments. Often more

effective.

  • For parents: providing resources or referrals to assist them in

establishing expectations in the home if needed.

  • Clear, concise expectations and follow through on consequences.
slide-88
SLIDE 88
  • It takes a village. Encouraging parents to involve trusted adults in the

conversation about concerns. Coaches, counselors, relatives, health care professionals. Referring parents to professionals in the school and community.

  • Address with medical doctor
  • Quit Plan
  • Know your reasons. Ask your teen to think about why they want to quit. Make a list of

these reasons. This can assist in reinforcing motivation.

  • Set a quit date. Help your teen set a quit date.
  • Avoid temptation. Avoid people, places and activities that your teen links with

smoking.

  • Be prepared for cravings. Remind teens that if they can hold out long enough,

usually just a few minutes, the craving will pass. Offering up sugarless gum, hard candy, celery or carrot sticks. Going for walks, deep breathing, physical activities.

  • Consider stop-smoking products. Nicotine replacement products like nicotine gum,

patches, inhalers or nasal sprays weren’t meant for teens, but they can might helpful in some cases. Ask your teen's doctor about the options.

  • Seek support. A tobacco cessation specialist can give your teen the tools and

support he or she needs to stop smoking. Local organizations might offer stop- smoking groups for teens. Web base support.
