E-Cigarettes: Promise, Peril, and Probabilistic Population PredictionCertara
E-cigarettes, which deliver nicotine without carcinogenic tar, hold the promise to save the lives of many smokers who switch to them, but risks include failure to quit cigarettes (dual use), increased initiation to nicotine products among youth, relapse of former smokers to e-cigarettes, and e-cigarettes becoming a “gateway to smoking.” To capture these uncertainties and weigh benefits vs. risks, prediction of e-cigarette health impacts must use a broad range of probability-weighted scenarios.

song by watching videos, visual demonstrations, and experimenting
with a guitar in one week with 70% accuracy.

• Students can answer basic questions on how to read tabs, chords, and notes
• Day 5
• Students will watch videos on youtube.com and look up tabs/chords/notes on various websites to learn a song or part of one
• Students can play at least part of a song
5. Use of Technology
• Use of Internet

• How to play a note and a chord
• Use of Visual Aids
• Charts/Pictures/Power Points
• show what a guitar is and how to use it
