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 think nicotine is bad for you but yes it is hard for people to stop.
I think vaping is worse than smoking because it is so much more available to young kids than cigarettes are. Also, they are much more discrete because they are smaller and they don't have a smell. Also, many ads for e-cigarettes are very targeted towards teens because of the graphics they use.
I agree, the smell defiantly helps kids hide it easier.
Vaping just causes another problem for your body. It's bascially inhaling toxic chemicals and metals. Though vaping should get banned, it will not have a chance. There are too many adults who are already using vaping as an alternative to cigarettes. A lot of teens just think it's cool and are wanting to impress all of these people, but in the end they will die earlier than most.
Yes, you are inhaling lots and lots of toxic chemicals.
I think vaping is worse than smoking because it is more easily accessable to kids and it is "the new style". I think that e-cigarette companies are targeting kids because the companies say it is a stress reliever and say that it is better than normal cigarettes. However, vaping is worse than cigarettes because it has more nicotine.
I agree, it is definitely the new style.
I think that vaping and smoking should be banned, but I think that people are still going to find ways to get their hands on them. People are so addicted to them that they would give everything and anything away to get them. I think that e-cigarette companies are targeting young kids.
Yes, it would be very difficult to ban it completely.
I think that vaping and smoking should be banned. Every year they come out with new vapes or different ciggarettes and every year they come out with new evidence saying that it is bad. I think that overall vaping is much worse than smoking because when you vape you are putting metals and other things directly into your lungs.
