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.

Yes, it os very easy to get addicted.
in my opinion i think vaping should be banned because everytime more and more teen are getting addicted to it and vaping is also worse than smoking
Yes, it is worse than smoking.
Yes, in my opion vaping and E- cigarettes should be banned in all the states. If you are someone that is vaping, it is worse then smoking a cigarettes. I personally believe that if they banned vaping in every state, people will find a way to find something else.
I agree, people will try to find something else.
Vaping is worse than smoking, but they are both aweful things that people do to their bodies to fit in with others also harming their bodies. I think that kids are targeted because we cave to peer pressure so much easier than adults. So if we constantly see commercials or other things for them we would eventually want to try it. I think that if we want to prevent vaping we just need to make it illegal.
Yes, kids fall into peer pressure more than adults do.
I think vaping is worse than smoking but it does smell better, it makes it easier for adluts to smoke indoors and not bother anyone. I think vaping is not horrible for adluts better than smoking a pack a day. I do not think e-cigareetes are targeting young children. No company would want young children dying. I do not think we can stop young people or adluts from vaping or smoking. it is their own choice.
I agree, it is easier for adults to smoke indoor and not bother people.
I think vaping isnt bad for you nictine is actually not bad for you its what they put in it. Ithink they are targeting younsg kids because they are easy to get. I dont think we can stop vaping because people get addicted and they cant just stop.
