Statistics show a disturbing rise in vaping among teenagers and young adults. What many don’t realize is that vapes and e-cigarettes are not harmless — they heat up nicotine, marijuana, and chemical-laden flavorings that go straight into your lungs. Inhaling these substances can cause: * Severe lung inflammation * Breathing difficulties and asthma flare-ups * Increased heart rate and blood pressure * Nicotine addiction, which affects brain development in teens * In extreme cases: lung collapse, permanent damage, or even death Even “nicotine-free” vapes often contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals like lead, which can cause long-term harm. Don’t fall for the myth that vaping is a safer alternative to smoking. It’s not. The best time to quit is right now.
