In 2018, more than one in ten American students aged 12 to 14 said they vaped nicotine in the past year

AMERICA IS IN the grip of a health scare over e-cigarettes. At least seven people have died and around 380 are suffering from a mysterious lung disease linked to vaping. In response, national and local lawmakers are restricting e-cigarettes. On September 11th the Trump administration said it would ban the sale of most flavoured e-cigarettes. Michigan and New York have announced similar bans. On September 16th California’s governor signed an executive order regulating e-cigarette sales.

Concern over vaping has been growing for years. Much of it has focused on teenagers, more and more of whom are warming to the habit. In 2018, according to an annual survey by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than one in ten eighth-graders said they vaped nicotine in the past year. Among high-school seniors the figure was 37%. Nearly 21% reported vaping in the past 30 days, up from 11% the previous year.

So vaping is not good any longer ? Who is joking who? I call it the WeatherUpdate syndrom. 30 years ago: one channel and one forecast that you trusted. Now 100's saying all different. Will the same happen with ElectricCars ? ElonMusk do you smoke ? lessisbetter

Not one person has ever died from second hand vape smoke. 2.5 million have died from cigarette second hand smoke. The juul helps people to kick a very bad habit. It must be used in moderation. Have a nice day. 😇 HeatherChilders CarleyShimkus

İ think its not so harmful as marlboro and it give of more smoke than marlboro.

Just looking to the photo is disgusting . Something is going wrong!

Smoking from a modified iPod may be more harmful than people think. Well, yes.

StaunchInsafian In the nutshell, the capitalist govts are slowly but steadily building grounds to impose heavy taxation on Vape in the long run, just like they did with tobacco.

'In the interests of public health, it is important to *promote* the use of e-cigarettes/vaping, NRT and other non-tobacco nicotine products *as widely as possible* as a substitute for smoking' -Royal College of Physicians

No kidding- and of course big tobacco is probably behind it all cause now regular cigarette use “seems” safer...🤔

Nope! Anything other than O2 in your lungs is bad for them!

If only people were as concerned about guns and the environment as they are with this.

MashwaniAzhar only thing harmful is $$$ which are not going to cigrt companies but eCigrt companies.

Actually no they shouldn't be banned No More Than Cars should be because I'm sure cars kill a lot more people than e-cigarettes... people have to make choices in life and if you make stupid choices you pay the price

How about banning guns

7 people die from vaping: TIME TO BAN THEM Millions have died from cigarettes: 🤷🏽‍♂️

This conversation is ridiculous. How can you even think about banning e-cigarettes, while REAL CIGARETTES continue to be legal? Unbelievable. This is a glaring example of the corruption we face in the US, absolutely ludicrous, shameful🤢

I have no idea about Vaping Laws....excuse me, taking another puff.....

Throwing out the baby with the bath water

I mean no? Let people be idiots if they want to be.

Actually I don't think we shouldnt ban e-cigarettes I think they should pretty much be promoted... it helps to eliminate the lower IQ people in the culture that are really too stupid to see what the hell they're doing

😢😢😢

alllibertynews So? Better chances of being bitten by a shark In Iowa

Please explain the benefits of smoking. Are there any? No, there are none. Ban it all !

We shouldn't even have to ASK that question. YES.

No

OK. Interesting fact. How many have died from lung cancer from cigarettes? How many die daily from guns? At this point I don’t give a fuck.

Why worry about e-cigarettes when there are literally millions of guns out there? priorities

A moratorium would seem sensible at this point, until more is known 🔎

the result of over enjoyment go on vaping and be ready for the consequences, it's a matter of choice!

I bet more lung problems out there . It’s not joke . They smoking oil straight

How many from gunshots again?

I prefer the old cigar...Taste but not inhale...Why I am coughing day long now.. Got the same approach to alcohol, I taste, but always spit it out! 'here we drink and smoke for taste, not effect'. 😇

And how many from smoking? From alcohol? From oxytocin? From car incidents? From falling of a ladder?

When they kill 1/100000 of cigs I'd be concerned . . .

Now do guns

Think guns should be first

alllibertynews No

Yeah it's not like cigarettes don't kill millions each year

No— simple answer to simple question

Flavored ice cream causes more deaths. So, No

Hey, that looks a lot like the map of tobacco bonds debt. I wonder if it's just correlation or if there's a causal relationship between anti-vaping extremism and MSA profits. VapeBan = KeepSmokingWeNeedTheMoney

You should have avoided using blue or red in this visualization. I thought it was something related to elections

YES THEY ARE DANGEROUS
