Have you ever walked into the bathroom at school and you could tell and sometimes even see people vaping? Student vaping in schools is extremely bad because it affects test scores because the teachers do not know how to properly discipline students that are caught vaping, as well as students are more likely to quit than young adults. Students that are willing to quit vaping in schools are great. If you refer them to a source to get help, it will work better than suspension or expulsion because they get to stay in school as well as quit a bad habit. Students being willing to quit is a great thing because they do not need to be expelled or suspended when they can still get an education but leave behind that bad habit. The proper way to discipline students that are caught vaping is not by suspension or expulsion, but by referring them to the proper sources to help them quit vaping. Yes students vaping is bad however if you suspend or expel them they get less education and ultimately lower test scores meaning that the students will not gain anything from punishment other than time at home. The way you discipline students that are caught vaping should be changed so that they are …show more content…
A test was done about students caught vaping in schools and it proves that they are going to the bathroom to lower their stress levels and focus a lot more during class because they were distracted. If they are not doing it for a bad reason such as trying to cope with something or trying to peer pressure someone into vaping, they are not as bad as people think. Some may say they help others, but the truth is they only cause more problems. Students do not vape in school because they want to, they do it because they need to focus more and want to get a better education all
E-cigarettes have heating elements that are battery operated and hold cartridges of nicotine and other liquids and flavoring. They were produced to assist those who are trying to quit smoking or reduce the amount of nicotine that is actually inhaled in the body to make it a safer product for the consumer than actually smoking a cigarette. There is controversy on whether or not this product promotes a safer nicotine habit or stimulates someone to begin smoking habits. Most importantly, those who do not smoke at all are concerned whether or not the secondhand smoke emitted from these devices is harmful for those who do not wish to inhale nicotine products. There are states laws that restrict smoking in public areas and now the question is should e-cigarettes be restricted in public areas as well?
Imagine: you’re chewing your fresh new piece of green mint bubble gum. But then your teacher tells everyone in the class they aren’t allowed to chew gum because one person is being too distracting with their gum. Everyone has probably had gum at least once in their life. So why shouldn’t students be allowed to chew gum in school? Kids should be allowed to chew gum in school because it helps kids focus and deal with stress.
Many believe that vaping is not harmful to your health but recent findings prove otherwise. I believe that vaping actually is harmful to the body of the vapor as opposed to popular belief that there are no health side-effects. Vaping is extremely harmful to the lungs and heart of the vaper.
Social Lens In addition to its medical and environmental improvements, e-cigarettes have also affected the public. Since traditional cigarettes have been around for hundreds of years, it may prove difficult for some people to accept electronic cigarettes as a higher quality substitute for traditional cigarettes. However, this is usually because people have not received the opportunity to learn about e-cigarettes and the aid they can provide to citizens that want a better alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. A common claim is that electronic cigarettes are the preferred choice among people who live in the United States. However, due to the countless number of e-cigarettes purchased throughout the world, that claim has been disproven.
To finish wrapping things up, vaping can end up affecting your education. What I mean is it has been proven by many scientists like John Hopkins that when teens vape, it causes behavioral change or lack of motivation towards school. It makes their brain not focus and not have to worry about school, which has led to too many dropouts in high school. It has been proven that an estimated 540,000 students to 1.97 million use nicotine in middle school/high school. And most of those students are currently failing due to the nicotine problem that makes them not focus on school and be in their own world.

Vapes need to be banned from teenagers. If you vape, you may not be aware of the issues facing you. Principally, a vape is a device similar to cigarettes, which uses inhalation to deliver nicotine and flavourings. Thousands of people do not understand the health and addiction issues that come with vaping. This includes addiction, physical health issues, and mental health issues.
Vapes are something we shouldn’t joke about and must be banned. A vape is a device that simulates tobacco smoking. They contain a lot of harmful ingredients that will cause you to become ill in a short time. Even worse, they are exposed to so many kids who have so much to live for.

One of the newest trends in America is an alternative to smoking called “Vaping”. There are many advocacy groups that are currently petitioning and fighting legislature that would make this new trend illegal. Many claims have been made stating that vaping is more dangerous than smoking traditional big brand tobacco. There are also arguments that there have not been enough studies to prove that vaping is less harmful than conventional smoking methods, which is not the case however. Vaping has been around since the early 1960s and has proven to be healthier than its tobacco cousin, the cigarette. Currently the United States Government is trying to pass a law that would ban the production, distribution, and sale of many vape products. This ban would make it so the big brand tobacco companies would once again be the number one source for nicotine. I strongly believe that vaping is a safe alternative method to smoking that will reduce many medical risks and diseases associated
The word “punish” should be for the ones that really do serious things. Just by suspending students miss a lot of work and are behind on what they are learning in class. The word punish should be taken seriously not just for things that the school think is wrong, but an actual purpose not some little thing like dress code violation. When they suspend for a minor thing the students will not have any problem whatsoever in missing school. Christopher states “Out of school suspensions leave kids at home unsupervised and able to cause more problems”.
In recent years, smoking has started to take over the lives of many teenagers. The number of teenagers smoking has increased dramatically in the last several years. This is a major problem because smoking can lead to sickness and major diseases that can lead to death. Teens tend to participate in this while out of the presence of an adult figure. Although teens should not be smoking in the first place, an adult figure should be around to help insure that their children are doing the right things, even when they are behind sealed doors with their peers. Teenagers as they mature become a model for younger children and when they set the example of smoking can ruin their respectable image to the children that look up to them.
Drug testing was responsible for a significant reduction in cigarette smoking among 8th grade students (13-year-olds) from 35.9% to 24.4%, alcohol use from 39.9% to 30%, and cannabis use from 18.5% to 11.8%.
There are lots of harmful things in the world such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Cigarettes are smoked and liked being smoked everywhere besides it is poisonous. Although smoking is harmful for people's life. Some people believe that smoking should not be banned. However, in my view, smoking should be banned since it damages people on account of three important reasons. They are health, social and budget problems.
Teen Smoking Teen smoking. Those two words mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. To some it means nothing. They are just two meaningless words found under T and S in the dictionary. To others it is as if these words symbolize some sort of treason or crime against society. Yet to others it is just another stereotype to be placed under. And to some it is a salvation. An escape. Unfortunately I am writing this paper so you will get my positions on teen smoking rather than other peoples. Teen smoking gathers a lot of emotions when I think about it. It makes me very angry sometimes. My first draft of this was good but I saw myself getting angry and lashing out on everyone, so I revised it. But enough of that, I find teen smoking to be a very controversial subject. To be completely honest with you I am smoking right now as I am writing this. Obviously I am a smoker. I am 17 years old and I am a smoker. In the late 1990’s, the statistics showed that approximately 25% of teens smoke. That’s one out of every four teenagers. High school is a tough time for teens. These years are critical to a teens future. This explains why a vast majority of smokers start at 16 years or younger with the most common age being 14 years old(freshman). It has also been proven also that teens who score lower in school smoke more than higher scoring students do. It seems that everyone smokes in our school. Our school is overrun with smokers. It is right now at least 50% smokers and 65% if you count the people who will smoke before their high school career is up. We practically encourage it. I mean Fireman’s Field practically condones teen smoking. Teen smoking is defiantly a problem in our school, as well as schools all over the United States. I feel that teen smoking is a huge problem. I feel that too many teenagers smoke cigarettes. It is something that needs to get dealt with. But before I get into that I should probably start with the causes of teen smoking. There are several factors that start teens on smoking cigarettes. There has to be considering that over 1 million new teenagers will start smoking annually. The most common is peer pressure.
