Recently, according to the Belarusian media sb.by, data from the Belarusian Center for Health Science Practice showed that the number of adolescents using e-cigarettes has tripled in the past five years, and one in six students has at least tried this popular "e-cigarette". cigarette".
At a primary school in Minsk, a group of responsible teenagers gathered to ditch the harmful habit and warn others of the serious consequences such behavior can have on their health.
“Everyone who chooses to be in the group has their own reason,” said Alexander, a 9th grader. “I wanted to try to play my part in some important public benefit role.”
The team has been in action for two months, but is already seeing significant results. Through their efforts, there are basically no e-cigarette smokers in the school.
"If everything around us is in an epidemic, then unconsciously we will try vaping and understand the importance of health," said a 'Galeon' team member. "I tried it and it really wasn't a big deal. I understand it's bullshit and it won't do any good for those who use it."
