OSU research aims to describe vaping’s effects on college students M egan Hays S taff R epo rter @ megtherep orter

Breathe in. Breathe out.

A sweet-tasting and sweet-smelling cloud billows into the air, and a rush of nicotine enters the system.

Vaping has become a common activity among college students, and vaping shops are dotted all over Stillwater to keep up with the demand from the students.

It’s advertised as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, but recent research from Oklahoma State University’s Behavior Change Lab is finding evidence against that claim.

Thad Leffingwell, the lab director, has authored studies looking into several aspects of vaping such as sleep patterns in college student users and characterizations of patterns of use.

“We know vaping as a whole has been on (a) rapid rise across the country, and we weren’t quite sure about college students and how they were using and perceiving,” Leffingwell said.

“Sure enough, they fit into that widespread use (pattern), and information about how they found it to be normatively acceptable was new information.”

Because vaping is relatively new, not much research has been conducted on the pos-

sible effects. Eleanor Leavens, a tobacco regulatory scientist at the University of Kansas Medical Center in the Department of Population Health, talked about possible concerns from the vapor going into the lungs.

“If we are talking about users who have never used a combustible product, who have never used a product that involves inhalation of smoke,” Leavens said, “then we would see e-cigarettes’ use as more harmful. Any time you are taking anything into your lungs other than air, we see that as a potential harm to health.

With e-cigarettes, really in the short term, they are much less harmful than cigarettes, but we

don’t know the longterm health consequences of them because they have not been around for very long.”

The primary concern in the vaping research is not the nicotine itself but is instead the delivery system.

Regular e-liquid contains vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, flavoring and long chains of ringed carbon called polycyclic hydrocarbons, associated with the development of cancer. Because of the heating of the liquid to produce the vapor, those compounds could change due to the decomposition of the chemicals, making it hard to characterize what exactly is in the vapor people inhale.

“Interesting thing about that is nicotine is not the dangerous part,” Leffingwell said. “Nicotine, while it does create dependence for the use, is not known to have any detrimental health effects itself. The dangerous part of nicotine use is the delivery system.

In cigarettes, it’s the smoke, the smoke itself is the deadly part. The nicotine is the part that gets people hooked, but the part that kills them is the delivery system.

That’s the part we’re not sure about with vaping.”

People are aware of the addictive properties of nicotine, but in the early days, some

people were unaware of the nicotine in vaping devices. Now, devices such as JUULpods allow users to choose the amount of nicotine used in the e-liquid. Susanna Lopez, a doctoral student in OSU’s Tobacco, Health and Drinking lab, reported on what new research is showing.

“I think being able to control that, the nicotine concentration, it is palatable for students, but what we’re seeing in the literature is that non-nicotine e-cigarettes are actually decreasing,” Lopez said. “People are choosing higher concentrations of nicotine.”

cover s t o ry The higher concentration of nicotine means faster and stronger dependence on the nicotine.

Although safer nicotine options are available, much of the addiction comes from how the nicotine is delivered.

“If you were to take a drug in through your stomach, that is a very slow way to deliver a drug, and so it has long for you to feel the effects,” Leavens said. “And it just isn’t as reinforcing. The faster the drug is delivered, the more reinforcing it becomes, the more you are going to want it again in the

future.”

Kara Niccum, a substance abuse counselor, works with students at University Counseling Services and explains how addiction to any substance works.

“It’s that idea that once you introduce a substance into your body, your body identifies that it gives it a rush, that it feels good, and then it wants you to repeat,” Niccum said.

“The more you use, the more your body says use more. That is how people become addicted. If you think about addiction, it’s repeated use despite

sometimes catastrophic consequences. Now, with nicotine, you don’t have the same kind of catastrophic consequences, but there are some nonetheless.”

The nicotine makes people addicted, but many people get started vaping through social interaction.

Lopez’s research focus is on social normative alcohol use, which can be expanded to vaping use.

“It’s very social,” Lopez said. “If you are around friends who vape all the time, smoke all the time, it might bias you partially with how prevalent it is on

campus. If you’re around it all the time, you might think that everyone is smoking e-cigarettes and everyone is doing it, same with alcohol use. When in reality, it isn’t all that prevalent. People might choose to vape because their friends are doing it to fit in. It’s easy to connect with people if you have something like that in common.”

Cigarette smoke has had a similar social role, but unlike smoking, vaping is being seen as safer and less of a bother to the people around it. In the counseling center, Niccum

treats people who vape, but that is not the reason they walk into the door.

“They aren’t identifying it as the problem generally because vaping isn’t quite the nuisance that smoking or alcohol or other drugs possess,” Niccum said.

“It’s rather inconspicuous, there’s not the smell, there’s not the yellow stained teeth, people just don’t seem to see it quite as the problem, which might be the reason it is very rampant. It doesn’t have a lot of the traditional negative aspects to it that smoking cigarettes has.”

The overall consensus

from the researchers at OSU is that more research into the short and longterm effects is needed to determine the safety of vape products.

“For me, it’s really important to make sure any products that are available to the public are regulated in a way to limit their harm to the public while also having the greatest health benefit possible,” Leavens said. “To me, it’s really important for us to have a good understanding of who these products are helpful to and who these products pose the most risk to.”

Column: The McKnight Center’s opening weekend ushers in new era for music at OSU H allie Hart C o- E d ito r-in - C h ief @ h alliehart

The rich sound of the familiar tune resonated throughout the performance hall in The McKnight Center.

Stringed instruments added new, beautiful layers to the song, but the melody was unmistakable.

The New York Philharmonic was playing Oklahoma State’s alma mater.

Before plans for The McKnight Center for the Performing Arts were announced, if someone had told me I would see the nation’s oldest symphony orchestra play live music, I would have guessed it was going to happen in a large metropolitan area. Instead, I enjoyed the New York Philharmonic’s performance without leaving

my college town Saturday night.

favorite hype songs before games. Still, my love for listening to intricate harmonies and emotion-stirring musical arrangements is just as strong as my passion for describing touchdown plays, monster dunks and walk-off home runs.

My enthusiasm for music grew in Stillwater, where I sang in a children’s choir and performed in The Seretean Center for the Performing Arts on OSU’s campus. At the annual summer choir camp, we had opportunities to play instruments ranging from xylophones to maracas, and I was thrilled.

OSU provided me with my musical foundations, and thanks to The McKnight Center, the university continues to offer opportunities for people of all ages to experience the arts in ways they otherwise never would in Stillwater.

From the minute the first note floated through the performance hall, I was captivated with the New York Philharmonic’s stage presence and musical prowess.

Jaap van Zweden’s conducting baton danced

in the air as he carefully used it to direct each section of the orchestra, whether he temporarily hushed the sound or signaled for the musicians to pick up their tempo. Frank Huang, the featured violinist, stood and played complex, gorgeous melodies from memory throughout the first half of the performance.

The rolling, thunderlike boom of the drums blended with the steady, deep cello tones and the light, airy singing of the harp. Each instrument was distinguishable, but the sounds blended as if all musicians were one.

Because of the venue’s acoustics, the sounds carried across the crowd and filled every level.

I was sitting in the balcony, but I could hear the crisp, clear notes as if I had a floor seat.

This unique experience

was possible because of contributions from those such as Ross and Billie McKnight as well as Anne and Michael Greenwood, the music school’s namesakes.

The McKnight Center is a stunning symbol of the OSU community’s love for the arts. It shows the students and faculty of the music department, as well as Stillwater citizens interested in music, that they matter.

Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke,” one of my favorite songs, begins with the line, “Music is a world within itself with a language we all understand.” The McKnight Center is a space where people can speak and celebrate this language, and I can’t wait to see the future that this venue can create for arts education and appreciation at OSU.

Culture Not Costume Imitation is not always flattering By: Allison Clymer

With the Halloween season upon us, the ever-lingering question of whether a costume is offensive presents itself again. So before you head out on the town in your Halloween attire, let’s check-in to see if it could be potentially offensive to one or more groups of people.

First, knowing the difference between cultural appropriation, appreciation and exchange are key in determining if a costume or a similarly-related item could be offensive. According to an article written by the Spring Institute, cultural appreciation, similar to cultural exchange, involves MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2019

takes the more they must give back and the quality needs to be positive and of satisfactory quality to allow for no offense to be taken. Appreciation and exchange are all about understanding the impact one’s actions have in relation to what you are doing.

“consent to participate in some culture and both sides mutually benefit and gain an understanding of each other.” Purchasing art from a Navajo designer or a piece of jewelry made by a woman who grew up in Ghana are seen as cultural appreciation and exchange because the act supported and respected the culture’s artists rather than buying imitations of their work at Hobby Lobby.

While in contrast, cultural appropriation is, “the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not you own, especially without showing that you understand or respect the culture,” (HuffPost). As stated in an MTV video, cultural appropriation is a privileged group “misrepresenting and disrespecting marginalized cultures” who usually receive no compensation or credit yet they often had to have dealt with the consequences for decades.

Appropriation is similar to the academic dishonesty of not citing sources or plagiarizing someone else’s intellectual property. While there are micro examples of the issue and then there are much larger examples, they stem from stereotypes that the marginalized culture has been stigmatized by throughout history. Appropriation makes styles that have resulted in underrepresented cultures being penalized or marginalized while the person causing the issue is often seen as “trendy” for doing or wearing the exact same thing (MTV).

According to the New York Times, cultural exchange, while similar, involves taking something and giving something back of equal value. Thus, the more someone

Some recent pop culture examples of cultural appropriation include Kim Kardashian West’s attempt at naming and copy-writing her new shapewear brand “Kimono”

or ask a friend of the culture what they feel. One person giving the okay does not mean that every one of that culture will feel the same way; one person cannot speak for an entire group. Acknowledge the origins of the thought or art, cite your source and do not take credit for something that is not yours.

Yet, this sent people of Japanese heritage into a backlash as eshe attempted to own the name of one of their traditional garments. hAfter much contentment, the name was changed to the better dand unoffensive name “SKIMS.” y While just a few weeks ago, fashion house Dior was called out for gtheir overtly-racist ad campaign and anything involving their new cologne Sauvage, as it played rinto the stereotypes of Native .Americans with Johnny Depp in Arizona surrounded by men in straditional dress and doing war edances. What made the matter tworse was that the perfume’s launch party also included ” MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2019

people of Caucasian heritage wearing traditional war bonnets as they danced around tepees, and the perfume’s name refers to white settlers view of natives being savages and below them.

One example that is still ongoing is the mascot and name of the NFL team, the Washington Redskins, which is a slur towards people of Native American heritage, and has been a hotbed topic between fans, the owners and the public for many years.

So in 2019, how do we avoid offending other cultures through appropriation? Do your research.

A simple Google search or two can help prevent a cultural catastrophe OCOLLY.COM

Culture is not a trend. Never adopt sacred artifacts as an accessory or garment, they are not a new statement piece as they have meaning and honor behind them that results in insult to those persons.

That includes rosaries, headdresses and any other piece that has religious or similarly significant ties. Engage with a diverse amount of people. If you really want to learn about other cultures and respect them, become friends with people from different backgrounds than your own.

In the end, if you are still questioning if something is cultural appropriation, do not wear it! It is up to every single person to put an end to the issue, and it can start with you. See someone who is wearing something offensive? Have a conversation with them, let them understand and change their actions from your example. Be an advocate and have a happy Halloween!

by Sezanna Wallace The Center for Sovereign Nations is an organization on campus here at Oklahoma State University where people of all walks of life have created a supportive and uplifting community. The Center emphasizes that any person of Native American Heritage, as well as those who are not, will be welcomed with open arms and they encourage students to become involved in all the CSN’s events and activities. In fact, the Center for Sovereign Nations is guided by a “three-fold mission” in all their operations, which includes sovereignty, students, and partnerships. modmuze mag had the incredible opportunity of partnering with CSN to celebrate Native American heritage and learn more about Native American culture. In light of Indigenous People’s Day, Oct. 14, we were able to discuss Native American heritage with many members of the Center for Sovereign Nations, including Jerika Butler, Catherine White, Gage Clark, McKenzie McCaleb, Hadley Hume, and Robert Lincoln.

Catherine White, a Student Leader at the Center and former MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2019

Miss American Indian OSU, disclosed to modmuze mag her feelings about embracing cultural tradition in modern society.

“I think modern society is fast paced, and everyone has somewhere to be or something to do,” White said. “Taking a pause from that to attend a powwow or a sweat lodge is a break from modern society for me, and it helps me reconnect with my people and our values and ways. It’s almost like drinking a refreshing glass of water and being reminded that, heck yeah, native people still live in modern OCOLLY.COM

We would like to express our appreciation for this wonderful opportunity and for CSN’s impact on campus. We hope to continue working with the Center for Sovereign Nations and other organizations at Oklahoma State University that create value in diversity in the future.

closet and add a twist to it. If you’re ever bored with your look, a scarf is the perfect finishing touch.
