I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping
1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer
2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung
3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)
4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK
5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money
Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.
It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it
yeah okay ill reblog that
Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.
And don't do it in your fucking apartment. Newsflash, it doesn't stay there! It goes into others' apartments around your complex, such as mine, where we either suffocate with closed windows, or have to have an asthmatic child suck on your cotton candy cloud of death!
The heating of the fluids used in electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarettes”) used to create “vaping” aerosols is capable of causing a wide range

Benzene concentrations released from vapes are much, much lower than in traditional cigarettes, but "not of negligible risk"
Diacetyl is used as flavouring in vapes. It is safe only when ingested in small quantities, not inhaled (as in vapes). It has been proven to cause popcorn lung in industrial settings, and there is evidence of this happening from vapes.
Vaping indoors causes concentrations of ultrafine particles to rise significantly. They are "a major concern for respiratory exposure and health"
Tobacco companies have historically lied about how dangerous cigarettes are
This is true
