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 don't think vapes shgould be banned because that is not the problem the problem is on the society we need to have families become stronger by having parents be more involved with what their child does not in an over-controling way but in a way where less teens would start vaping and then people should treat vaping worse than they do so people who might think about vaping would be turned away from the negative image we can create of vaping. Vapes are statistically safer if you use them at the same rate as cigerettes, but people don't do that they over use vapes and make it worse. If we ban vapes people are going to find something else which could be worse so I don't think it is that safe.

    • I have to disagree. many reserches show that vapes have been found to cause similar effects as cigerettes. Over time they are both very bad for you and are doing nothing but bad to you and your health. 

  • I think vapes should be banned because of all the negative side affects. I do think that vapes are safer, but still are bad for people. I think it would be benificial to ban vaping in amarica.

  • Yes, I think that vapes should be banned. Vapes are very bad for your lungs and for your body. They can become addictive and harm peoples everyday lives. They dont benefit you at all. I get why people might use them to try and quit smoking but vaping isnt any better. If you want to quit you should just quit all together. 

    • I agree that vaping should be banned. I like your reasoning, as it is bad for your lungs and overall body, and how it can become addictive. What advice would you give to someone that has fallen into the trap of vaping? How would you feel if someone you were close to vaped?

  • I think vapes should be banned because it can affect people's health. If vapping is banned and people are just going to go to cigarettes I think they should not allow cigarettes either. It can affect your health and it is not good for anyone to be smoking.

    • I agree with you that either way, cigarette or vape, both are bad for mental and physical health and people should not be using them. 

  • I think vapes should be banned because I do not think they benefit the world in any way, or provide any good. They only cause bad to happen, like addictions which lead to many other problems, such as family problems, being dependent on a drug, and ruining peoples futures. I think banned vapes would help the world. 

    • I also agree with you, I think that they both should get banned if they could, they are doing no good for there health and body and I think they are slowly killing themselfs.

    • I agree that vapes do not benefit the world in any way. They can cause many health issues and make addiction worse.
