Should Vaping Be Banned?

 

Vapes were invented by a guy named Hon Lik in 2003. Hon smoked up to three packs of cigarettes a day, but when his father died of lung cancer he started working on a new substance that was initially an alternative for smoking. Vaping is made with an addictive chemical that is extremely hard to quit. The longer you vape, the more your brain and body get used to having nicotine, and it makes it very hard to let go. Some positives of vaping are there are fewer toxins than smoking cigarettes, although the side affects of vaping are cell death, DNA damage, and scarring. 

Vaping is a much better option than smoking tobacco, vaping reduces the toxins you are getting from tobacco that can cause lung cancer, diseases for the heart, and chances for heart attacks and strokes. If vaping were to be banned many people say “They take away freedom from people.” Many people say that vaping helps with mental health so, if it were to be prohibited it could make the addict depressed, there is a chance that the nicotine can make you depressed, severe anxiety, and make eating disorders worse. 

Although many people think that vaping is fine because it is not smoking, there are many negative side effects as well, for example. It may cause long-term damage to the lungs, heart, and brain. Vaping can cause organ damage, asthma, and addiction. Quitting vaping improves the health of those around you, the children or young people in your family. 1.63 million students under the legal age are currently using e-cigarettes. Although vaping is said to be safer than cigarettes, 15 puffs is approximately equal to smoking one full cigarette

I think that Vaping should be banned for the health of everyone, although it is said to be better than cigarettes. I think that both cigarrettes and vapes are both doing the same negative effects on you over time, so yes I do think vapes should be banned. 

Do you think vapes should be banned?

Do you think cigarettes or vapes safrer?

Would banning vapes be safe for the people?

  • I think that vaping is very bad for your health and people think that it is not very bad just because it is better than cigarettes and the fruity flavors and colors distract from the truth that is that vaping is bad for your health. I still think that they're better than cigarettes but they both are bad.

  • Do you think vapes should be banned? Yes, I think that they should be banned because they serve no purpose in society and there are no health benefits. 

    Do you think cigarettes or vapes safer? I think that they are both terrible so you shouldn't say one is safer because then people will become addicted to them also. 

  • Do you think vapes should be banned? I think they should because it is just a bad thing to do. It hurts your lungs ultimately causing you to have a shorter lifespan. Do you think cigarettes or vapes safer? I believe that they are both bad and both should be avoided.

    • I agree with this because a lot of people that uses vapes are usally young people making there life spanshoter. I do agree with avoiding both of cigarettes and vapes its just not worth risking your life just to make you feel better. I would rather have a longer life. 

  • Do you think vapes should be banned? I think that vapes should be banned because they are really bad for your health. I think that both vapes and cigarettes are bad for your health and one is not better than the other. People shouldn't be vaping or smoking.

    • I agree! I think that they both do the same bad for your health, I agree that people shouldnt be vaping or smoking, they are doing nothing but bad to there health.

  • Yes they're very bad for you because it's basically like a pack of cigarettes if you think about it more than that cuz 15 plus for one cigarette that is bad for you.Think that Vapes for safer because it's not going to give you I mean they're still going to give you both lung cancer but cigarettes can affect you more than Vapes that's what I think. If you take vaping away they're probably just going to go back to smoking cigarettes and that's not very good for their health either is vaping so you really ain't going to stop them from doing either one of them so.

  •  Yes, I do think vaping should be banned because even though they say there are some upsides to it, it is still REALLY bad for you. Like it being really addictive and harder to quit and also hurts your mental health. I do think that there is a solution to vaping, because a ton of people are starting to come up with ways to help vaping. For example, if you search up "Pure Bars" it is a vape that doesn't have any nicotine in it and has just straight vitamins and things that are WAY healthier for you. That way you can be able to quit easier because it has no nicotine. I would still say in the end to ban vapes entirely though.

    • I agree with you, I think that many people take it for the takes or for what they say will help your mental health, but I think that there are more down sides than positives.

  • Yes I think vapes should be banned because its killing people and hurting people lungs. I dont think that cigarettes or vapes are better for people. I would think that banning vapes would be better for the people and better for the environment. Me personally I wouldn't do it because its just horribly and not safe at all.
