Vaping has been a trend and lifestyle among teens, or even adults. People use vape as a substitute for cigarette because how it works. Vape user inhales and exhales the aerosol, or vapor, created by a vaping device. The key point of vape is the e-liquid or e-juice, which is a combination of nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals.
There are few reasons why vape got so many attention, for example
1. Tasteful
Vape cartridges are available in many flavors such as apple pie, chocolate, cherry, strawberry milk, etc. These flavors aren't common in cigarettes, so for vape users, this is a plus point.
2. Conformity
Pressure from friends can also be a good reason why teenagers think that vape is super cool. The media effect also makes them want to try vaping themselves.
3. Accessibility

#Health Risk of Vaping
Just like cigarettes, nicotine is the primary substance and it is harmful to human health. Nicotine raises blood pressure and adrenaline levels, as a result it increases heart rate. Other than nicotine, vape also contains other substance such as formaldehyde, glycerol. These are toxic chemicals that have been linked to cancer, heart, and respiratory disease.
#Other Info
Did you know that vape can blow up? There were so many reports of vape batteries catching fire, overheating, and exploding while they were using the vape. Some of them were hurt badly. Just imagine something explode on your fingers or even worse, when you inhale it.
BUT, there were also another reports where people gave up smoking by using vape. On one side, this is a great deal, because we all know that smoking is bad for your health. On the other side, while the percentage of cigarette smoking went down, we still need more research to make sure that the vape is truly safe, and only hurt your body a 'little bit'. Hopefully there won't be any intervention from cigarette manufacturers, so we can have honest research.
