Show Notes

It’s an age-old question for adults: how to get the message through to teenagers that something they think is cool is actually dangerous, and they should stop doing it? We did it with smoking, now the challenge for this generation of teachers and parents is vaping.

Griffith University is looking to change that, they’ve created a gamified experience called The Vape Detective that will help inform students about the dangers of vaping and challenge their perspectives.

We speak to Associate professor Coral Gartner from Griffith Uni who takes us through their program  - and Timo Dietrich who’s the co-founder of Blurred minds who has developed a vaping game to discourage teenagers from taking it up.

On today's Briefing: the fight against vaping.

Headlines:

- Bruce Lehrmann trial gets underway

- Government reveals conservation plan

- Banks to pass on rate hike

- Essendon CEO quits after one day
