• Efforts to minimize tobacco use are much more effective when young people are involved.

• The initiation of tobacco use most often occurs before the age of 18.

• The tobacco industry spends millions of dollars every day targeting youth to develop the next generation of smokers.


Meaningful youth engagement is

crucial!

• Youth involvement can lead to

important environmental and social

norm changes and reduce pro-

tobacco influences.

• Young people provide an important

perspective on understanding the

issue and how to solve it.

Session 2



IV. Go! Topic 1: Nicotine Addiction

Key Point: Nicotine addiction is a complex disease that

involves the brain and quitting usually takes more than

good intentions or a strong will.

Note: Reference to nicotine use below refers to

tobacco products or use of other nicotine delivery

devices such as e-cigarettes, but DO NOT include

nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), which – while

approved by the FDA for cessation treatment for

adults – has not been approved for use by youth as a

clinically proven treatment option.

2727

SAMPLE MATERIALS

Session 2



Ask students questions about specific feelings they recorded

on their form. For example: “How many of you are feeling

bored when you smoke/vape/use tobacco products? Does

smoking/vaping/use relieve boredom? How?”

Some students may discover that there is a pattern in their

use of e-cigarette and tobacco products, or that their

product use behavior is triggered by certain activities. Others

may be surprised by the frequency with which these

products play a role in their activities. If students are

reluctant to share, ask specific questions about what they

learned.

2828

SAMPLE MATERIALS

Session 2



V. Winding down: Provide: “My Thoughts” handout

“Please record, in words or pictures, some of your

thoughts about today's session. It may be something

you learned about yourself or others, or something

that surprised you. Perhaps the session started you

thinking about your own smoking behavior. Write your

initials at the top and I will collect them.”

2929

SAMPLE MATERIALS

Session 2



“We learned today that understanding your vaping and

tobacco use is important in helping you assess decisions you

make about when and where you use these products. You

looked at when you use these products, and what kinds of

feelings they lead to. Think about the emotions that you

have before and after you use vaping and tobacco products.

Can you look at other areas of your life and identify

behaviors that lead to happy feelings, both short term and

long term? Are there some activities/choices that make you

feel good that can take the place of vaping/tobacco use at

school, or in other places where these products are not

permitted? What about even where they are permitted? Take

some time to think about these questions in the next week

and thank you for your participation today! See you next

time.”
