Since many years ago, experts have been worried about the growing number of young people who vape and the possible health risks that come with it. But a recent social media video that went viral has taken this worry to a whole new level. The sickening video shows women laughing in the background as a baby is given a vape to suck on. The 11-month-old baby breathes in the poisonous vapor from the device, which he or she then coughs up. The child’s mother smiles and laughs throughout the video, which shows that she finds it funny.
People know what happens when they vape. Using e-cigarettes has been linked to a number of health problems, such as lung damage, heart disease, and cancer. Teenagers are especially at risk because their bodies are still growing and may be more sensitive to the harmful effects of nicotine and other chemicals in e-cigarettes. Aside from the risks to your body, there are also worries about how vaping might affect your mental health and lead to addiction.
Even though vaping has these risks, young people still do it a lot. In fact, a recent study found that more than 20% of high school students in the United States said they had used e-cigarettes in the past month. This is a worrying trend because it shows that a lot of young people don’t fully understand the risks of vaping. Young people may be more interested in vaping because they think it is safer than smoking.
Even though e-cigarettes don’t have as many harmful chemicals as regular cigarettes, they are still not risk-free. In fact, some studies show that vaping may be just as bad for your health in the long run as smoking. Marketing strategies used by e-cigarette companies are another reason why vaping is so popular among young people. Many of these companies try to reach young people through social media influencers and other means.
Often, the flavors and packaging are made to appeal to younger people. This has made people worry that, like tobacco companies did in the past, companies that make e-cigarettes are making their products with young people in mind. The baby vaping in the video that went viral is especially scary because it shows how easy it is for young people to be exposed to the dangers of vaping. The child in the video is only a few months old, but he is being given a device that could hurt his health in a big way.
