Vaping is the action or practice of inhaling and exhaling vapor containing nicotine and flavoring produced by a device designed for this purpose. About one in every ten teens vape, or 2.5 million middle and highschool students in the U.S.. Using a vape can have many harmful effects on your body such as Asthma, Lung scarring (“popcorn lung”), Organ damage, Addiction, sometimes the start of smoking cigarettes, and some chemicals in e-liquids can lead to cancer. Probably worst of all is EVALI which is a serious lung condition that is caused by vaping, IT causes widespread damage to your lungs and can give you symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath and chest pain, and can also be fatal. An outbreak of EVALI in late 2019 and early 2020 put thousands of people in the hospital. At least 68 people died. Since then, EVALI cases have been declining, but people who vape can still get EVALI.
Some would say that vaping is better than smoking and that smoking is better than vaping. Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it’s still not safe. E-cigarettes heat nicotine, flavorings and other chemicals to create a smoke that you inhale. Regular tobacco cigarettes contain about 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic. While vapes contain chemicals, heavy metals, and water vapor that can harm the lungs, researchers are still investigating whether e-cigarettes are worse than standard cigarettes, but both are still not good.
I think that vaping is a bad thing and that it’s sad that so many kids do it, some not knowing what can happen and some do and still do it. I feel like nowadays people think it's cool, others think they should do it because their friends are doing it or they are peer pressured into doing it.
How do you feel about vaping?
What would you do if someone tried to make you vape?

I feel like vaping is terrible and it just damages your lungs. If someone tried to hand me a vape I would decline and walk away. what you do to your body is your business. I believe that vaping is bad for your body and you should try to think about what you are putting in your body.
I agree with you that not only can it damage your lungs, it can also damage your heart and sometimes lead to cancer, and I also read that there have also been some deaths from vaping. If you ever get offered to vape you should decline and go somewhere else.
Personally, I do not vape and never will. I do not like to be around people when they vape because I know that it can affect me too by being around them. If someone tried to get me to vape, I would just walk away.
I agree with you, I do not like being around people when they vape, because you may not be vaping but you can still get in trouble for it just for being around them. If someone offered it to you and you just walk away is probably one of the best things you can do.
I think that vaping is bad for you and you should not do it it will kill your lungs and you could get cancer from it. there are no good long-term side effects of vaping. many people are peer pressured into vaping and then get addicted it's not a good habit.
I agree with you that it will kill your lungs but it's also not good on your heart either, you are also right about there not being any good long-term side effects. They are also bad. I feel that the people who peer pressure others into vaping are good people to be friends with.
If anyone tried to make me vape I would walk away from them and stop talking to them. It is very bad for your body. I think most people do it because they think it makes them cool and awesome, but in reality it doesn't make them cool at all.
I agree with you. I would also just walk away and stop talking to them, Vaping is bad in many different ways and can cause many problems with your body. People that think it's cool and all, are the ones willing to suffer consequences in the end.
I do not like vaping and do not understand it. I think that this generation does it to be cool and stand out. I think that it's a terrible addiction. I would ignore them and I wouldn't talk to them because personally thats something I do not want to be a part of.
I agree people in this generation do it because they want to be cool or they think everyone else is doing it so I should do it too, and it could have many long term effects so why put yourself through it. People should turn it down when offered and just walk away.
