Vaping Over Dinner

Description

During the dinner party, a conversation arose about the recent incident of a 17-year-old teen who was hospitalized from a vaping-related lung injury in Downtown Toronto, sparking a debate about a vaping ban. The discussion becomes heated as differing perspectives from the interprofessional team clash regarding the ban. Habibah, a nursing student, uses the competing style and pushes for an immediate ban on vaping to protect the youth from the health risks it poses. Andy, studying politics, employs a compromising style and suggests the idea of stricter regulations rather than an outright ban to protect individual's rights to freedom. Deon, studying nutrition and food, agrees with Habibah regarding the health risks and uses the collaborating style to introduce the idea of educational programs to increase awareness of the vaping issue. Shyams, a finance student, uses the avoiding style and expresses concern about the economic impact on small vaping businesses. Rajbeer, a sociology student, highlights that vaping can negatively impact the social environment and uses the compromising style to advocate for stricter regulations to ensure that vaping is not easily accessible. The debate heightens as each team member asserts their own opinions on the issue, highlighting the intricate problem of vaping.
