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 that smoking is worse than vaping because you are lighting something and letting it go in your system, personally there are both terrible for you. I think that e-cigarette companies are targeting young teens, i think that they had a idea for a better alternative then cigarettes witch teens got hooked on. I honestly don't think that you can prevent vaping, they will just come up with something else.
I agree they are targeting young teens.
I think that vaping is worse than regular smoking because of the oils in vape pods. I think e-cigarette companies are targeting young adults, however, they don't say they are because then there would be a lawsuit against them. We can not stop vaping completely, however, we can discourage it.
I agree there are way more oils in vapes.
I think that vaping and smoking have the same effect on people. They are both bad and I think they should both be banned. I think vaping and smoking are very pointless because they just ruin your lungs. Also, e-cigarette companies are most definitely targeting young kids, because they are not educated on what vapes do to your body.
I think that there has not been enough time to know what it will do in the long term. But I do think that arguing that it helps adults and kids not smoke is not a good reason. I think this because that is like trading a bad thing for another bad thing. I think that it is bad because everything that people get addicted to is bad.
I agree both are bad.
Vaping is definetly worse than smoking cigarettes because there is more nicotine in one vape than an entire pack of cigarettes, it's harder to notice, and causes lung damage. E-cigarette companies are targeting a younger audience so they can get addicted sooner and buy from them longer.
I agree, it is harder to notice.
I think that vaping is worse than smoking because vaping can expose your lungs to more harmful things than smoking. Vape companies are targeting children with their flavors being things that children like the taste of these flavors. I think the best way to stop potential addicts is to make a law saying people born before a certain date cannot buy nicotine products.
