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 agree, pressure is making kids want to start.
I think that vaping is just as bad as smoking. I think that the companies are looking to target the younger age groups. The younger children are more vulnerable to falling for that stuff. I think that vaping can lead to cancer or have a very big impact on kids lives.
I agree, younger children are more vulnerable for falling for that stuff.
I honestly think that vaping can be just as bad as smoking. I do believe these companies are targeting young kids. If vaping is going to be banned then so should all cigarettes. If banning them isn't possible then maybe they can make stricter measures for it.
I agree, it is just as bad as smoking.
I think that vaping is just as bad as smoking. It is easier to do so in areas that you can't with a cigarette but I don't think that just vaping should get banned. I think that if vaping gets band then cigarettes and all smoking should be banned everywhere. I think that they are targeting young kids.
I agree all smoking should be banned if vaping gets banned.
I do not think that vaping is worse than ciggeretts but i do think that people vape more especially when you have the advantage to vape in stores or resturants, even bathrooms. I dont think they should be banned unless eveyrthing is banned with smoking
Yes, it is easier to hide vapes.
I do not think vaping is worse then smoking. I think that companies keep making e-cigarette because younger kids are going to buy them so the companies are making a lot of money. To stop vaping just stop its not that hard to stop doing something. I don't think I will ever try vaping or smoking.
