Vaping: What’s the big deal?

Did you know that vaping is more than just water vapor?

The CDC explains the top facts about vaping:

  • Vaping is more than just water vapor. In fact, it contains many harmful chemicals that can cause serious lung problems and death. It creates an aerosol effect that is same consistency as hairspray.

  • 99% of vaping tools also known as electronic nicotine device systems (ENDS) sold contain nicotine even when they are advertised that they do not.

  •  One JUUL pod equals the same amount of nicotine as 1 pack of cigarettes. Over 80% of teens who started off using vape for the “flavors” has become addicted.

  • 2 in 5 high school students and 1 in 20 middle school students have reported using a vape device in the last 30 days.

  • Big Tobacco owns vaping companies. What does that mean? The same companies that created cigarettes are addicting a new generation of people with a new nicotine delivery system.  We all know cigarettes are dangerous, so why would we vape?
