If their friends or social groups are vaping, they might start as well in order to be accepted or appear cool.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Curiosity and experimentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Adolescence is a time when many experiment with different behaviours, including the use of e-cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p>The novelty of vaping devices, the colors and the variety of flavours can be particularly appealing to young people which is why Big nicotine has spent billions marketing vapes in this way to appear cool, sexy and modern.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Marketing and perceptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Vaping is heavily marketed, sometimes directly or indirectly targeting younger audiences through social media and appealing flavours.<\/p>\n<p>These marketing strategies can create the perception that vaping is less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes and even that they are harmless!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Misinformation about safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Many teens believe that vaping is a safer alternative to smoking.<\/p>\n<p>Although e-cigarettes generally contain fewer toxic substances than traditional cigarettes, they are not safe, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/teen-vaping\/short-and-long-term-side-effects\/#3\">long term health risks<\/a> and can contain high levels of nicotine, which is addictive.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Stress and mental health<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some teens may use vaping as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Accessibility and legality<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In some places, it&#8217;s easier for teens to buy vapes than cigarettes due to regulatory gaps or enforcement issues, making vaping more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>Most e-cigarette liquid contains nicotine which is highly addictive.<br \/>\nIn fact, vaping is now more popular than traditional cigarettes with 2.1 million middle and high school students in the US using the product in 2017.

you heat up that juice, you get even more harmful elements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Ultrafine particles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These tiny bits can get deep into your lungs and mess things up &#8211; even more so if you already have asthma or lung problems. <\/p>\n<p>They might even trigger a heart attack, which is scary.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Volatile organic compounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>They can make your eyes, nose, and throat all irritated, give you headaches and nausea, and mess with your liver, kidneys, and nervous system.
