With vaping being so popular these days a lot of young people are trying it. Vaping comes in different flavors, and this can be appealing to people because unlike a normal cigarette, which only comes in one flavor or taste, vaping seems to offer variety. However, with vaping being so new, the medical community does not know the full impact that it can cause on the body. Increasing reports are surfacing that show the damages that vaping can cause on the lungs.
I understand that vaping companies like Juul are marketed to help stop adults who are smoking. They should also be realizing what it is doing to teenagers. Teenagers are thinking that it is cool and posting videos on social media. They are not understanding that it is affecting their heath by getting them addicted to nicotine.
This is such a big problem for teenagers that even the President is stepping in. Companies need to start realizing the problem with vaping. They also need to start doing research on long term effects from vaping. In the next video, Trump mentions that people are dying from vaping. Just knowing this should turn a light bulb on in people’s heads and make them realize this is not safe.
With the public not knowing the full effects of vaping, people need to be careful with the product. If you haven’t started vaping, don’t start now just because people around you are vaping. It doesn’t mean it is safe. It took a while to find out what cigarettes can do to the body. Before jumping on board with this product, let’s figure out what is safe and what is not.
