John Maytham spoke to pulmonologist and researcher based at the University of Cape Town, Professor Richard van Zyl-Smit, about the smoking habits of teenagers.According to Van Zyl-Smit, a study has revealed that more than 25% of matric students in these affluent areas vape.
He added that it is not only matric students that have picked up this habit, but it can be seen throughout high school aged children. It is not only the matrics. There are grade 8s and I have been asked to come and talk to some grade 7s who are also vaping. Professor Richard van Zyl-Smit, pulmonologist and researcher based at the University of Cape Town He said that while there is a social element to smoking vapes, many students are reporting that they use vaping to cope with stress and anxiety.
The pressure that students are experiencing in high school has led to them vaping to get the dopamine release to help them cope.Van Zyl-Smit said the vape market desperately needs to be regulated to prevent this rise of addiction in high school students.Professor Richard van Zyl-Smit, pulmonologist and researcher based at the University of Cape Town
