The only thing cooler than a cowboy sauntering across a Midwestern plain or a 20’s flapper sitting in a high rise above the streets of Manhattan, is a high schooler vaping at the recs.
Vaping is the new cool thing in cancer-creators, sweeping the nation faster than tanning and old-fashioned cigars. Nothing says “I want some bubble gum flavoring, and I want to die young” like vaping does.
When I first heard about vaping, I thought that it was a safe alternative to cigarettes. And I suppose traditional cigarettes are generally worse than vaping. However, e-cigarettes do contain nicotine and are not harmless, like many users perceive them to be. These e-cigarettes contain carcinogens like formaldehyde and are unregulated by the FDA.
Even more frightening, since vaping is such a new craze, many of the health effects aren’t yet known.
Yes, if you had to choose between regular and electronic cigarettes, electronic cigarettes are a much better option.
But you don’t have to choose between the lesser of two evils. Choose to do cooler things, like join the Londonderry truck gang or actually participate in a club.
I can assure anyone thinking that they look cool vaping in the recs, that they do not.

Great article, but the sarcasm is not needed, and I do not flipping appreciate that heck.

Great article, but remember you cant tell who has nicotine and who doesn’t. It all depends on the juice they have at that moment. Yes, there are some foolish teens that do it to seem cool, but others are using non-nicotine juice in an effort to quit cigarettes. One of these people who did this to quit is my brother so he could join the Army. So lets not label those surrounded in clouds of vape smoke as villains, because some are just trying to better themselves, and being ridiculed while doing so will only add to their stress.
