I. INTRODUCTION:
The prevalence of vaping among students has become a prominent
concern within educational institutions worldwide, raising alarms due to its potential
health risks and social ramifications. The focus of this study is to delve into the specific
context of vaping behaviors among students within Ilocos Norte National High School. By
examining this issue within a localized setting, this research aims to shed light on the
factors influencing vaping practices among students in this particular educational
environment. Understanding the patterns, perceptions, and underlying reasons for the
increased use of vaping devices within Ilocos Norte National High School is crucial in
formulating effective strategies to address and mitigate this growing concern. This
investigation seeks to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the issue
and in the development of targeted interventions tailored to this specific school context.

II. NEED FOR THIS STUDY:


The issue of vaping among students in Ilocos Norte National High School requires
in-depth research due to several reasons. These include health concerns related to
vaping, the potential for addiction and dependency, the impact on academic
performance, the influence of peer pressure, the need for awareness and education, and
the development of effective policies and interventions. By addressing these needs, the
study aims to provide insights and strategies to prevent and mitigate the harms
associated with vaping among students.
III. BACKGROUND:
The issue of vaping among students in Ilocos Norte National High School is a
concern for parents, educators, and health professionals. According to a recent study,
the use of e-cigarettes or vaping devices has increased significantly among teenagers in
the Philippines, including in Ilocos Norte.
The reasons for this trend are varied, but some of the factors that contribute to it
include peer pressure, stress, and the perceived safety of vaping compared to smoking
traditional cigarettes. Some students may also see vaping as a way to fit in with their
peers or to cope with academic or social pressures.
However, it's important to note that vaping is not a safe alternative to smoking. E-
cigarettes contain harmful chemicals, including nicotine, which can lead to addiction and
respiratory problems. The aerosol produced by e-cigarettes can also contain heavy
metals, ultrafine particles, and volatile organic compounds, which can be harmful to the
lungs and cardiovascular system.

IV. OBJECTIVES:
1. To explore the association between health behaviors and habits or students and
academic achievement.
2. To educate youth about the dangers of e-cigarette use.

V. RESEARCH QUESTION:
1. What are the factors that influence students to use vape?
2. What are the possible health problems that a student can get from vaping?
3. What are the possible ways in order for the student to get rid of vaping?

VI. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:


The study wants to make it a rule to investigate the impact of vaping on students
at Ilocos Norte National High School includes conducting surveys and interviews with
students, observing the school premises for vaping hotspots, organizing focus groups
with students, teachers, and parents, and collaborating with security guards to
implement bag checks or the use of scanners. The collected data will be analyzed to
identify patterns and trends related to vaping. Based on the findings, a comprehensive
plan will be developed to address the issue, including preventive measures, awareness
campaigns, counseling services, and support systems.
