003. Vaping: What Pediatric Nurses and the Public Need to Know

  • Summary

  • The newest fad for youth is dangerous and addictive. While the prevalence of smoking tobacco by teens has decreased significantly over the years, nicotine delivery has resurfaced in a new format. Whether referred to as vaping or juuling, the use of electronic cigarettes has implications for the pediatric nurse as well as for the health of youth.

    Pediatric Nursing, a peer-reviewed clinical journal for pediatric nurses, published a feature article on vaping in its January/February 2019 issue. The article, entitled, “Vaping: It’s All a Smokescreen,” was authored by Dr. Janice Selekman, Professor Emeritus from the University of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware.

    In this episode, Pediatric Nursing Journal Editorial Board member Bernice Mowery, a Nursing Research Scientist from the Inova Health System in Northern Virginia, interviews Dr. Selekman, about the use of e-cigarettes and vaping in teens, the serious health risks associated with vaping, and the important role pediatric nurses can play in preventing or decreasing this practice.

    Dr. Janice Selekman is Professor Emeritus from the University of Delaware, in Wilmington, Delaware. She is a leader and national expert on multiple topics related to children and adolescents, most notably care of children in the school setting, children with chronic conditions, high-risk behaviors, and mental health. She is the author of School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text, certification reviews for both pediatric and school nursing, and over 100 publications. She is a past member of the Pediatric Nursing Journal Editorial Board and a well-respected national speaker.

    Dr. Bernice Mowery is a Nursing Research Scientist from the Inova Health System in Northern Virginia and a member of the Pediatric Nursing Journal Editorial Board.
