In the past years, vaping has become very popular. I would even say it is even more popular than smoking cigarettes. Vaping contains nicotine and which is a very addictive chemical. You might've heard of the brand “JUUL” before, which was known to be one of the top vapes in 2020-2021. However, on June 23, 2022, the FDA made Juul stop selling all of their products in the United States This included removing products currently on the market, including Juul devices and pods. E-cigarettes were the 4th most popular tobacco product in 2019. In 2018 it was estimated that 1 in 5 high school students owned a “Juul” or another type of e-cigarette.
Some may say that there are pros like, it can help adults quit smoking and prevent youth from smoking. But I do not think that vaping is any better than smoking. I think it is worse. Research says that one cartridge that goes in a vape has 20 cigarettes in it and a teen is more likely to to smoke those cartridges at a must faster rate than cigarettes. Some may say that Vaping is a “safer” way to ingest tobacco. However, I strongly disagree. Vaping can cause a thing called “popcorn” lungs which can ruin your lungs and can even cause death.
There are many cons but a few are, vaping is causing a serious addiction in young kids. Vaping is also much easier to “smoke” than cigarettes. For example, you could vape in the bathroom without having a strong smell to you whereas if you were to smoke a cigarette you would be able to smell it on your clothes. Another cause is that vaping can cause serious health problems like depression, lung disease, or even strokes. Vaping can cause addiction to other drugs that could be more serious and could harm you a lot more. One last con is that e-cigarettes can start on fire and explode. Some people have lost body parts (like an eye, tooth, or tongue) due to e-cigarettes exploding. Airports even ban all vapes or e-cigarettes to go under the plane in case it would explode under the plane.
I think vaping is very bad and should be banned in all states. Vaping is not any better than smoking cigarettes. Banning vaping could save many people's lives. And prevent future addictions to worse drugs.

I also will never try vaping or smoking.
I think that vaping has gotten out of hand in general. I don't think it should be banned completely for adults, but I do think stricter measures should be put in place so young teenagers can't get their hands on them. I don't know how to go about preventing vaping exactly but something should be done.
Yes, it has gotten way out of hand.
In my opinion vaping is worse than cigarettes. Vaping companies are targeting teens and younger generations. We can prevent it by not doing it and not peer-pressuring people into it. Good topic Kendell! ;)
Yes, I agree. Most kids start vaping by peer-pressure.

I believe that vaping i snot any better than smoking and should be banned in the states. I don't think that e-cigarette companies are targeting young kids but I think they do make a lot of money from them. I think banning is the best way of preventing people from using them.
Yes, I agree with you they make a lot of money off young kids.
I think that vaping is worse than smoking because you're inhaling metal and chemicals that are very harmful. I do think that they are targeting young kids because they flavor them. I think that we should just not have vapes they are harmfull and very toxic to the body. They should just stop making vapes all together because they have lithium batterys in them and if you over charge them they will explode and the smoke will become very toxic.
I agree with you, vaping is worse than smoking.
