`This documentary is focused on a program centered in the young community so that parents, students, and educators understand the health issues and risks associated with such products. Since the number of youth users us rising, the program explains more about the product itself as well as the multiple uses of these products, such as cannabis and nicotine consumption. I thought it was very interesting to note that the seriousness of this issue leads the FDA to actually label vaping as an epidemic in kids. The scary part of this epidemic is that you don't know if you child is vaping since there is usually no smell associated with the smoke. The younger you are, the more you are primed for addiction. The big message from this documentary is that for most people, especially those that are younger, vaping makes it harder to even quit smoking. People's perception that vaping is less harmful than cigarettes is only true if looked at a certain way: You might be getting less cancer-causing chemicals if you vape, but most smokers die from lung and heart diseases.

I found this documentary very useful to my research because I gained insight from many doctors and healthcare professionals about their opinions on this epidemic and the facts that people tend to ignore about vaping overall. This documentary further proves that more research needs to be done in order to be more convincing to the younger population to quit vaping before the effects dramatically affect their health. It is shown from this documentary that people are very uneducated about vaping and they are misled about what is in the vape juice as well as how it affects them.
