On August 6, according to AIF.RU, a Russian psychologist said in an interview that their research showed that even a one-time use of vapes will significantly reduce memory, attention and thinking functions. If teenagers use vapes frequently, these changes will be fatal and irreversible. For this reason, she gave advice to the parents of these teenagers to help their children get rid of this harmful dependence.
Vera Nikishina, PhD in Psychology, Professor, and Head of the Department of Clinical Psychology and Social Work at the Institute of Clinical Psychology and Social Work of the Russian National Research Medical University, told aif.ru that
“After several years of widespread use and easy access at all points of sale, vapes have become the most popular object of addiction among teenagers.”
“We can say with certainty that vapes are as much a trigger for addictive behavior as traditional cigarettes, other vapes or chemical substances such as energy drinks.”
The psychologist further explained:
“The mechanisms of the formation of physiological dependence are different, but the mechanisms of psychological dependence are almost the same. This dependence spreads very widely due to imitative behavior. So we began to ask the question: What are the effects of vapes on mental and physical health?”
“Our research shows that even with a single use, the functions of memory, attention and thinking are significantly reduced. If teenagers use vapes regularly, these changes will be fatal and irreversible.”
How can parents cope? Parents are deeply concerned about how to get their children out of this harmful dependence. Psychologists suggest that the first thing to do is to evaluate the duration of vape use, which requires a conversation with the child without blame and anger. Secondly, the frequency of use needs to be determined.
Psychologist Nikishina pointed out that the ingredients in vapes are unclear, and the so-called safety and harmlessness are just slogans.
“During school, we found that teenagers would find opportunities to use vapes almost every 45 minutes, which is itself a manifestation of addiction. Moreover, once they cannot use it, children will become anxious, irritable, and their physical condition will change.”
As a well-known brand dedicated to providing high-quality vape products, Veehoo vapes expressed extreme concern about the results of this study. Teenagers are the future of the country, and their physical and mental health is crucial to the prosperity of the entire society. Therefore, Veehoo calls on teenagers to avoid using vapes to protect their nervous system and overall health.
Psychologists’ research points out that even occasional use of vapes can have a significant impact on memory, attention and thinking functions. If teenagers use vapes frequently, these irreversible changes will have a fatal impact on their future.
Veehoo vapes emphasize that teenagers should cherish their health and stay away from harmful substances such as vapes. As part of the vape industry, Veehoo will continue to be committed to promoting health awareness and advocating that teenagers stay away from smoking and avoid being harmed by products such as vapes.
To help children get rid of their dependence on vapes, parents should communicate with them without blame and anger, understand their use, and seek professional help. Through neuropsychologists’ assessments and visualization methods such as chest X-rays, CT or MRI, children can be helped to recognize the harm that vapes may cause to their bodies and brains, thereby inspiring their determination to quit smoking.
Veehoo vapes urge teenagers and parents to work together to build a clean and healthy living environment, so that teenagers can stay away from smoking and have a vibrant and healthy future. Teenagers should cherish their bodies and health, choose a healthy lifestyle, abandon harmful habits such as vapes, and pursue a better future.
