Doctors have raised the alarm about high levels of vaping among children worldwide, saying they are convinced e-cigarettes are causing irreversible harm to their health.
Cardiologists, researchers and health experts said they were “extremely concerned” about the harmful effects of e-cigarettes on millions of teenagers and young people, including exposure to toxins and carcinogens – some of which are still unknown.
Nicotine levels in e-cigarettes can be very high, raising the risk of addiction and injury to the developing brains of adolescents. Children are also risking long-term cardiovascular effects as a result of vaping at school and college, experts say.
Speaking at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) annual congress in Madrid, the world’s largest heart conference, Prof Maja-Lisa Løchen, a senior cardiologist at the University hospital of North Norway, said she was concerned that millions of children could face ill health in future.

Nicotine is Bad for children.
Its almost like this has been proved like 100 Years ago already with cigarettes
Yet for some reason, everyone is acting like anyone on gods green earth has ever said that it would be healthy.
Since I had some contact with kids who are Smoking/Vaping, I can anecdotally say that they never do it because they like the taste. Most of the time its because they are fucked up in some other way, like having mental conditions or a worse-than-good family
And even if Vapes wouldnt exist, they would just get cigarettes, sometimes even from their parents
But who am I to draw a conclusion after all, especially since I know that they tobacco industry is extremely rich, and I dont want to close off any options, especially if it involves green 174x77mm rectangles with Art in the barock androkoko architectural style
Trauma is the real gateway drug
I’m not even sure I’ve ever crossed paths with someone who genuinely thought vaping wasn’t harmful except for the media and politicians. Most, I think are just betting that it’s not as harmful as smoking.
It’s because the information is often presented as “Vaping isn’t harmful (when compared to smoking)” but the part in brackets is in tiny text.
Smoking is really bad for your health. Vaping isn’t good for you but it’s not as bad as smoking and it’s a great tool to get you away from cigarettes and off nicotine entirely. Quitting nicotine is really fucking hard which is why people end up stuck on vapes for so long.

Stop vaping. Cold turkey.
Vaping (nicotine products) is harmful to children. Even if you pretend like there are no other health effects, it is a chemically addictive substance and will have at minimum potentially significant financial harm to a child as they advance through life until they break the addiction (if ever).
Once someone’s mature enough to be responsible for their own decisions, I don’t really care what they do. Until then, I’m not really sure there’s any reason to advocate for an unnecessary additional addiction beyond the already prevalent caffeine and sugar addictions developed during youth.

Did a new copy pasta just drop??
Damn, I kinda want to see the new copy pasta, but am too late.
Edit: Checked moderation history, 2/10, way less entertaining than I thought it would be. Not worth the effort.
Yea, comment was pretty unhinged, maybe with some revision it could have been a good one. Just trying to keep it light.
