Vapes: Myth vs Reality
"It’s just water vapor."
Many vape products — especially disposable ones or ones bought online — don’t list everything inside them. Studies have found harmful or mislabeled ingredients in tons of vape liquids.
"Vapes are safer than smoking."
Cigarettes took decades to be proven deadly — vapes haven’t even been around that long. What we’re already seeing (like lung injuries and hospitalizations) should be a huge red flag.
"It helps you quit."
Most people who vape to quit smoking end up doing both.
“Nicotine isn’t that bad.”
Nicotine is highly addictive and can mess with brain development, especially in teens. It affects focus, mood, memory, and increases anxiety and depression.
