Question 10

Item B

Health agencies and school boards have introduced several initiatives to combat the rise of recreational vaping (e-cigarette use) among teenagers. These initiatives include:

  • Enforcing plain packaging regulations that mandate vape products are sold in drab, unappealing olive-green boxes featuring explicit medical warnings about chemical lung toxicity.
  • Implementing a total ban on vaping advertisements and sponsorships on social media platforms and requiring physical retail shops to hide all vape products behind solid, opaque cabinets.
  • Hosting peer-led school workshops that train students in practical, direct refusal techniques ("saying no" without losing social standing) and provide access to self-monitoring quitting apps.

Using the information in Item B and your knowledge of the prevention of addictive behaviour, explain how these three initiatives can help to reduce recreational vaping among teenagers. You must refer to the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) in your answer.
