This infographic is episode 2 of a three-part series of infographics that aim to educate around the health risks and dangers of using vapes. This three-part infographic series has been developed for any tradies who use vapes. Episode 2 provides education on hazards that tradies are often exposed to in the workplace. It highlights that if you vape, you are increasing your risk of lung damage due to the hundreds of chemicals inside vapes. There are some common symptoms listed for what lung damage can feel like. Tradies are all too familiar with protecting themselves at work, including steel cap boots, safety glasses and hard hats. Are tradies doing anything to protect their lungs? This resource encourages tradies to remove vaping from your mix.
In Episode 1 of this infographic series, information was provided about the hidden dangers of vapes, identifying some of the chemicals found to be inside. Episode 3 empowers any tradie who is thinking of quitting vapes. This infographic aims to educate and highlight the positives impact quitting vape use will have on your body. Not only will you physically improve, but other aspects of your life will improve if you quit vapes, and this resource identifies some of these. All three resources provide information on Quitline services that are available to support you on your journey to quit vapes.
Lung Foundation Australia developed these resources with support from the Queensland Government. These resources were also developed utilising feedback from young tradies as well as experts in the field. In addition to the three-part infographic series, Lung Foundation Australia also developed two animation videos, and two posters. These resources have been developed to complement and provide the same messaging around the health risks of using vapes, what supports there are available and the benefits of quitting using vapes.
