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?

  • Great topic choice and welld one Sophia!

  • Do you think cigarettes or vapes safrer? I belive nether are good but when it comes down to things i belive that cigeretes are better since you know what is in them a littel more I belive that all the chemicales in vapes are worse then the smoke from cigeretes that is why i belive cigeretes are better for you then vapes

  • I think that vapes are not safe for people at all. But you can't soemone from vaping that's there life if they want to put there life in risk they can. I also think that should be banned, but i also feel like the people wouldn't smoke like cigarettes at all. they would smoke weed. So  it's a thing that everyone would have to come together. But if it was a vote the people that vape and smoke would out vote the poeple that don't vape or anything.

  • I think that vaping should be banned it is bad for us and is tempting people to do things they should be doing. I personllay think that no are safer or good/have a better us for us. I think that banning vapes would be safe for people because instead of spending time in the bathroom at schools or in public places vaping they would spend more time on reliable thing such as work, school, sports, ect.

  • Vaping is a huge problem for teens in our current day lives. The market directly targets them with popular flavors, ads, and peer pressure. I think that vapes should be banned, or at the very least limited so their initial intended use can finally make a positive change for people with a cigarette addiction.

  • I feel like vaping should be banned. It's very bad for you and people don't think that. At points of addiction, they blame it on their mental health but in reality, that's just an excuse. If you have an addiction you can affect the ones around you, overall no one should do it I feel like you are wasting your money on buying something that only makes you worse. 

    • 100% I think that people get so addicted that they don't relize that they are harming thier body and putting there life at risk.

  • Do you think vapes should be banned? I think it should be banned. Many people don't know how bad it really is for you. Vaping causes you to breath in many dangerous chemicals and causes damage to your lungs. Many people have gotten lung cancer and have died from vaping. I think neither are safe. Banning vapes would be safe for the people because less people will get lung cancer and less will die.

  • Do you think vapes should be banned? I believe vapes should be banned because they still contain nicotine, which is addictive and can cause health problems like lung damage and heart disease. Even though they may be less harmful than cigarettes, they can still lead to long-term health issues, especially for young people.

  • I feel as if vapes should be banned. Even though they are an alternative to cigarettes they cause many health issues. They don't help anyone, they have the same effect as a cigarette. People think they help with emotional stress or depression, but I don't feel that it helps, it only makes things worse. They affect your head and lungs, so banning them is good so everyone can be healthy.
