Vaping is Not Cool!
Do you want to live a long, healthy, and happy life? If your answer to this question is “Yes”, then please keep on reading.
As many of us already know, smoking is very unhealthy and it is also addictive. The legal age to start smoking is eighteen, but every day we learn adults started smoking at even younger ages. In order to combat the dangerous health effects of cigarettes, tobacco companies came out with a better option for smoking and that is vaping. The exact definition of vaping is ¨the act of inhaling water vapor from an electronic cigarette¨.
Cigarettes are sold at many stores, but teens are not allowed to buy them because we are not old enough. But what about vaping? How do young adults get their hands on electronic cigarettes? The answer is very simple: they order them online, using their parent's credit cards or by asking their older friends to buy them.
Many people consider vaping the biggest breakthrough in the history of tobacco harm reduction. According to health studies, 20% of Americans vape at least once a day. Many people also vape because e-cigarettes are cheaper than regular tobacco products. While many adults vape to stop smoking, teens use it for fun without realizing the harm they are causing themselves. Vaping suppresses your immune system and is harmful to your lungs. Similarly, vaping may cause cancer just like smoking, and they are prone to exploding!
Besides all the harmful stuff vaping does to your body, it is illegal for high schools students to vape and there are severe consequences if you get caught at school. Please, do not disobey the law! If you are currently vaping just because your friends are, please don't. A key to a healthy life starts with you. You do not want your life to end in the hospital, do you?
