#28: Vaping Dangers
Nicotine vapes are pretty widespread these days, but they’re not without controversy. Surprisingly, vapes were invented as a way to help people actually quit smoking! This seems counter-intuitive, but that’s just because their use has transformed over the years. E-cigarettes allow you to control the amount of nicotine, so the idea is that people who are trying to quit can wean themselves off the addictive substance.
However, younger people got wind of the different vape flavors, and they rose in popularity. You can still smoke less nicotine than a traditional cigarette, but vapes aren’t actually “harmless.” They are still addicting and bad for your health. Vapes are more widespread than traditional cigarettes, which is pretty ironic.
