Why do so many people start vaping knowing it's unhealthy and that we don't know the long term effects and that it's just as addictive as smoking?

I don't vape or understand why someone would start for the reasons I mentioned above

[SnowedIn]

Why? I think peer pressure plays a huge role. Experimentation plays another part (what does this look like/feel like). Wanting to look cool. Wanting to do something "adult". And, I think that for a lot of them, they don't think about the unhealthiness and the long term effects.

You're right, by the way, it's just that people make illogical and irrational decisions when they want to do something.

It's just the latest fad. Those people would smoke cigs otherwise, and that tends to make you smell terrible, so I guess the vaping is a mild improvement?

America is one of the only countries in the world that demonizes smoking. Most of the rest of the world doesn't give the slightest fuck.

It's like why do people start smoking in the first place, they see others doing it or think it's cool and they start. But the nicotine gets them addicted.
I think it's the most stupid thing, it can lead to reduced lung capacity, repeated fungal infections in the airways, and there's studies into the link if vaping and throat/mouth cancer.
Idiots

Could you preach on alcohol?

[Avcfhcic]

What do you mean by that?

[Curiosity2006]

Would you preach against alcohol?

[Avcfhcic]

As in tell you why it's bad for health?

[Curiosity2006]

Yup! Or does comply to different health logistics? XD Sorry.

[Avcfhcic]

Alcohol is basically a depressant. It shows the body down, slows the nerve pathways and heart rate.
One of the big alcohol problems is in genetics and hangovers. Alcohol is metabolized into a toxic metabolite, that the body breaks down, but too much of this is toxic to you.
Also, as it's a depressant, you see people with trouble in life turning to alcohol as a cure, when it really isn't.
The biggest problem is the liver, it can cause cirrhosis and possibly lead to you needing a liver transplant!

But this is all excessive alcohol use, in moderation it's ok!

Thanks a lot! <3

You're very welcome 🙂
Any other things let me know!

I’m of the opinion that if your gonna smoke you miles well smoke the real thing at least you know what the effects are for actual tobacco.
