The use of E-cigarettes has become a common choice among Gr. 11 STEM Students,
raising concerns about their reasons for using e-cigarettes and its potential
effects. The electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), for many considered as a safe
alternative to conventional cigarettes, has revolutionized the tobacco industry in
the last decades. In e-cigarettes, tobacco combustion is replaced by e-liquid
heating, leading some manufacturers to propose that e-cigarettes have less harmful
respiratory effects than tobacco consumption (Marques et al., 2018). This research
aims to explore the complex aspects of e-cigarette usage among students, uncovering
the motivations and the impact on their health and academic performance. The
researchers seeks to uncover, whether if e-cigarettes are used as a coping
mechanism for stress among this group can inform interventions to address stress in
healthier ways. E-cigarettes, despite being perceived as 'safer' than cigarettes,
may still have negative impacts on brain function and addiction vulnerability.

This age group is at a critical stage of brain development. STEM programs can be
demanding. Understanding the reasons behind the use of e-cigarettes among Grade 11
STEM students is crucial, because it can provide valuable insights into their
decision-making processes and the factors influencing their behavior. Additionally,
exploring the effects of e-cigarette use on this student population is essential
for identifying potential health risks and academic implications, creating
strategies for prevention and intervention.

BOS
The surge in electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) utilization, especially inside
school situations among teenagers, has started noteworthy concerns with respect to
its potential open wellbeing repercussions. Later center on electronic nicotine
conveyance frameworks, such as e-cigarettes, and their seen hurt lessening compared
to routine tobacco items has picked up impressive consideration. Be that as it may,
the predominance of e-cigarette utilize among eleventh-grade understudies
considering science, innovation, designing, and arithmetic (STEM) requires
investigation. It is basic for policymakers and analysts to comprehend the
inspirations behind youthful individuals' selection of this frame of smoking and
its potential impact on their scholastic interests and individual lives.

This ponder particularly explores the components affecting eleventh-grade STEM

students' choice to utilize e-cigarettes. Through careful examination of factors
like socioeconomics, peer impact, promoting procedures, and mindfulness of
wellbeing dangers, the consider points to clarify the multifaceted determinants
forming students' choices with respect to e-cigarette utilization. Also, surveying
potential impacts on scholarly execution, cognitive capacities, and by and large
well-being will give significant bits of knowledge into the broader suggestions of
e-cigarette utilize in instructive settings. Through fastidious data analysis and
elucidation, this think about endeavors to supply evidence-based proposals to
address the predominance of e-cigarette utilize and its related negative results
among eleventh-grade STEM understudies.

Statement of the Desired Outcome

The purpose of the study is to understand the reasons and effects of e-cigarette
use among Grade 11 STEM students.

The goal of the study is to provide deeper understanding and broader knowledge to
better comprehend the potential effects of e-cigarette use among Grade 11 STEM
students.

The researchers expect the following results once the mentioned objectives are
achieved:

•Discover the reasons and effects of e-cigarette use.

•Raise awareness among STEM students about e-cigarette use.
•Help Grade 11 STEM students avoid e-cigarette use.
