7 Ways Vaping Attracts People

Many people in my close friends and family vape including me. I want to talk about why vaping attracts so many people. I also want people to know that these are not good things. The new technologies, flavors, social media, etc.. These things are attracting people of all ages to do something that is not good for their health. They make vaping look like a fun and exciting new thing to try when in reality it’s attracting all types of people to get them addicted to nicotine. Most of these people don’t even know what they are putting into their body when they do vape.

1. New Technologies

Lots of these new devices are making kids want to use vapes. You can get anything from looking like a usb to something huge that causes lots of smoke. From my experiences younger people or just people that are trying to hide that they are vaping are getting smaller vapes which are very accessible. When no one knew I was vaping, even now, I have a small vape that can be put pretty much anywhere. I definitely think it gives people a lot of ways to use it when they aren’t supposed to be.

2. Flavors

There are tons of flavors of vape juice. The flavor of the juice is actually what got me hooked and is the reason I started vaping. One day at lunch in High School a friend and I were going to the park down the road, and she asked me if I wanted to try her vape. Me not knowing what it was or what it was going to do said sure and took a hit. It tasted like smarties and that’s when I wanted my own. I feel like at a younger age you aren’t really educated enough on what it is or what it does and you just like the flavor of it. That being said I feel like beginners are trying it for the flavors and not realizing that at the same time they are becoming addicted to nicotine.

3. Nicotine

In vapes nicotine is very dangerous. You get a choice of how much nicotine you get in your juice and what type of nicotine you get in your juice. This can be very bad because it can cause people to become more dependent on the amount of nicotine they need or want in the juice. One of my friends had this happen to him and when he tried to go down to a lower amount he couldn’t feel the nicotine, so he had to go back up to the amount he was at. Once you start vaping a certain amount of nicotine it is really hard to go back down to the original or even stopping vaping.

4. Vape Tricks

There are a lot of tricks you can do with vape smoke. You can blow O’s, dragons, and so many other things. I know some people that only vape just to do tricks. That was one of the reasons why I wanted to start vaping. I thought it made me look cool especially when I did tricks. It was also cool to do it with friends and see what other tricks we could do together. Tricks take a lot of smoke to do and sometimes you end up inhaling a lot of it because you didn’t do the trick right and had to restart so you take another hit and repeat.

5. Social Media Influencers

People who post on social media are more likely to be seen than billboards on the side of the road. With this in mind I think it is easy for people to post a picture of them vaping and for someone to become interested in learning about vaping or even tempted to want to vape again. This recently happened to me. I stopped vaping for quite a while and then one of my friends posted on their Snapchat story that they were giving away their vape and it was cheap, so I thought to myself why not and went and got it. It is that easy for someone to just start vaping again.

6. Buyers

Now this one is sad but true. Older people will buy vapes and other products for underage kids. Not only does this promote younger kids to want to try it but it helps them have access to it. I know when I was in high school there were a lot of kids buying nicotine products for the kids that were underage. Most of the time the stores wouldn’t even I.D. some of the students, so they just went in and bought it themselves.

7. Billboards

Billboards and information in general about vaping always talk about the “good” things like the nicotine and all the different types of favors that they have. It looks super appealing to most people. It doesn’t show any of the bad things or side effects though and most people that are buying vapes aren’t thinking about the bad things either. People will buy whatever looks appealing just to try it without even knowing it can be addictive or that it does so much damage to your health.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I talked about why vaping could look like a good thing and be very attractive to many people but is actually a bad thing. I talked about all of the flavors, the different types of devices they have, billboards and social media influencers and how they only talk about the “good” things, people that buy for underage kids, the tricks you can do with vapes and overall nicotine and the ways it can cause people to become addicted to it. This issue is so important because it is causing so many people to become addicted to nicotine and not even realizing it. Vaping is not good for you even though it can be very attractive and accessible at times.
