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 believe that we should ban vapes because a lot of people do it and just removing it would cause lots of issues. People would be sneaking it in and people would just be getting in trouble left and right. Banning vapes would be safe and not safe at the same time but people are addicted and it would be no use.

    • i also disagree with you, yes people will be upset for awhilw but it would be better for everyone in the long run, mentally and physically. If people are so addicted they should seek help instead of feeding thier addiction, it is safer to ban vapes.

      • Have you considered the legal reprecussions of such a thing? Once a product is illegalized or banned, all federal and legal mandates that regulate and monitor the trade of these products go with it. How would you ban vaping while ensuring it doesn't just become another tool for the illegal black market to control and terrorize Americans? Perhaps you could consider how rash such a decision would be out of pure opinion and emotion. These are peoples lives and futures at stake, you can't just decide for them on theory of thought.

    • I disagree with you, there is a problem that a lot of people do it, they are very bad for you, both of them. When you say it would cause issues if we take them away, there is a issue that you are killing yourself. People are addicted and that is also a problem, they are no good at all. 

  • I think that vapes should be banned all around the world. I think no one should ever get involved in drugs but if they do and they want to stop being an addict, vapes could help but I still think they are bad for you. If you plan to stop smoking I think you should stop in all, I understand that this is very hard to do but  people who vape or drugs should go to theropy.

    • I agree with you on how vapes should be banned. I do slightly disagree with you on how you said that if you want to quit smoking to go to vapes. Yes, they are a bit healthier but they are more heavily addicting than cigarettes due to the high amount of nicotine. Which would make it even harder to quit. As an alternative, I would reccommend that when you feel like using your vape or something, replace that need with something you like, for example gum, or mints. That way the more you do mints, or gum instead of smoking or vaping, that habit and your need for it will be gone.

  • Yes! Vapes should be banned because of all of the negative side effects they have to your mental health and your bodies. I don't believe vapes are safer than cigarettes, they both do the same thing which hurt you. I think if we banned vapes a lot of people would be healthier and maybe live longer lives. 

    • I agree, I think many people do it because vapes are said to help you mental health but, they are really not. I also agree on vapes are not better than cigarettes, they are both very very bad for everyone. 

  • first question, no i think so many people use it and if we banned it it would just turn in to a drug that people buy illegally. second question, it's a toss up right now we know smoking really bad and vaping is atleast a little bad but we don't know HOW bad it is.

    • I dissagree, We know that they are both very bad for you, which I think that is just common sence. It is a drug that makes people addicted, that supposedly help humans, but does nothing but bad.
