You might think vaping is safer than smoking but in all reality it’s not. The increase in e-cigarette use, particularly among young people, is a dangerous trend with real health risks. This is an important topic of discussion because more younger people are using vape to smoke. The battery operated devices come in many forms and can look like cigarettes, pens or even sleek tech gadgets. People inhale and exhale a vapor-like aerosol. This way of taking in nicotine poses health risks to both users and non-users.
Many people think vaping is less harmful than smoking. Most e-cigarettes deliver nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm the developing brains of teens, kids and fetuses in women who vape while pregnant. Some types expose users to even more nicotine than traditional cigarettes. According to (Heart.org) in addition to nicotine, e-cigarette vapor includes potentially harmful substances such as diacetyl, cancer-causing chemicals, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals such as tin and lead. People breathe in these toxic contaminants, and non-users nearby risk secondhand smoke.
To solve vaping issue then should ban the substance completely. According to (TheAtlantic.com) Walmart announced it would stop selling all vaping products. California allocated $20 million for a “vaping-awareness campaign.” Vaping is a dangerous substance you don’t know what’s inside of it. People could put anything inside them.
I believe vaping is dangerous and could have a long lasting effect on your health. Vaping is bad substance and even killed some people. Vaping is banned from minors. But it should be banned completely. It shouldn’t be sold in no stores and should be illegal. Even though it’s most popular within the youth; users should try to avoid it to prevent health issues in the future.
