THE NEW GENERATION AND VAPING

How did vaping become the new trend?

Vaping

For the following reasons, vaping may be harmful: Nicotine, which is known to inhibit the growth of a child's, adolescent's, and fetus' brains, can be found in high concentrations in e-cigarettes. Adults and kids should avoid swallowing, inhaling, or coming into contact with the vapor-producing liquid. Dangerous substances including diacetyl, ones that cause cancer, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds are also delivered by vaping (VOCs).

As vaping gains popularity, smoking may once again become mainstream. By the beginning of 2020, there had been over 2,800 hospitalizations or deaths overall, 68 of which were confirmed to be related to vaping, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC does recognize that fewer patients now have vaping-related symptoms after harmful ingredients like vitamin E acetate were eliminated from vaping products.

Smoking

Contrary to vaping, which is relatively new, allegations that smoking is harmful to human health are thoroughly supported by years of research. Smoking damages every organ in the body and results in more than 480,000 deaths annually in the United States, according to the CDC. About 80% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 90% of all lung cancer deaths, and an elevated risk of death and health disorders like heart disease and stroke

This is a serious public health issue because three million adolescents "vape" and use e-cigarettes. Make sure to discuss the risks of vaping for your health with your children. Encourage them to stop smoking e-cigarettes if you see them doing so. They may appear fun and innocent, but they're sneaky nicotine products.

Final thoughts

Smoking and vaping both have harmful effects on the body, such as lung damage and an increased risk of cancer. The long-term impacts of smoking are better understood by researchers than the effects of vaping. However, compared to cigarettes, vaping devices have significantly fewer dangerous ingredients and can help people stop smoking for good. Vape goods can lessen the amount of tar and other toxins that a person inhales, but they can also make a person more addicted to nicotine.
