A common misconception about vaping is that it's just water vapor. Go ahead and try it. There's nothing to worry about. But there's much more to the vaping scene, and most kids and adults don't fully understand the harmful effect vaping has on the body. In Think You're Cuul?, authors associated with Soter Technologies examine the research and discuss what a vape and e-cigarettes are. This book offers a collection of short stories about kids who don't think vaping is harmful. It talks about a variety of people and the reasons individuals may choose to start vaping, why they continue to vape and the effects of their decisions. Each story gives a new perspective about what it's really like to face the perils of vaping. From popcorn lung to fourth graders JUULing, these examples expose the dangers of this practice. Through stories and discussion questions, Think You're Cuul? demonstrates what vaping is doing to your body, your relationships, and your future. It shows you have a choice, and you have a voice.
