Discussion Questions for Session 1:
1. In Taiwan how often do you see teens or adults vape? Have you vaped before? How popular is it?
2. Is e-cigarette good or bad?
3. Do you think it is true that vaping among teens is a dangerous epidemic either in US or in Taiwan?
If so, what should we be doing about it?

Discussion Questions for Session 2:
4. Is nicotine addiction different from addiction to sugar, video game, gambling, internet, sex, alcohol, etc.?
5. Do you believe some teens are just more prone to addiction and no matter what we do, they will be trapped in the end? Why?
6. How to overcome an addiction?
