Let’s face it, you try so hard to fit in or look cool in front of those who more popular, rich, or even bullies who seemed to get ahead. You had to make choices to survive or be accepted at any cost. Even if these choices weren’t who you really are inside. Choices that led you down the path of all kinds of disasters.
E-cigarettes are "primarily for nicotine, but also to ingest THC,” Willett said. “Both are drugs, and both are drugs that nobody wants young people to use.” Grant, Willett, and Stern are among those who link the surge in teen-age vaping to the launch of JUUL in 2015. The company sells colorful vaping devices that use “pods" disguising the taste of nicotine with fruity or candy-flavored vapor. Each pod can contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.
The teen years are critical for brain development, which continues into young adulthood. Young people who use nicotine products in any form, including e-cigarettes, are uniquely at risk for long-lasting effects
When it comes to why teens themselves say they vape, many of their reasons have a social connection. In the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey, middle and high school students named their top reasons for trying e-cigarettes as: “They see a friend or family member vaping, and they want to try it,” Richter says
“We were in the midst of almost a social contagion of the spread of e-cigarettes across high schools in the United States and suddenly when COVID came, everything closed and everything became remote…”
"The small and concealable design of e-cigarettes (often replicating flash drives or highlighters) allow underage youth to continue to hide and use e-cigarettes at home, even with family members nearby."
