If you vape, you're a 🤡.
Here's why:
Vapes are one of the greatest hoaxes of the last decade.
They're the adult equivalent of a binkie.
They masquerade as a healthy alternative to cigarettes...
But studies are starting to show their deleterious effects.
Here are 5 reasons why vaping is one of the dumbest habits:
1) It is harmful for your heart and lungs
When vaped, high doses of Nicotine can:
• Narrow your arteries
• Increase your blood pressure
• Raise your risk of a heart attack
Vaping is linked to higher risk for:
• Asthma
• Lung disease
• Popcorn lung (scarring of lungs)
2) It contains chemicals
A 2021 study found vape liquid to contain over 2000 chemicals - most of which were not identified.
The ones identified included:
• Pesticides
• Heavy metals
• Industrial chemicals
• Flavorings linked to respiratory irritation
3) It destroys your brain
A 2012 study of 7236 people over 12 years found smokers had more rapid cognitive decline than nonsmokers.
Other studies show nicotine is linked to:
• Higher risk of stroke
• Reduced brain volume
• Increased risk of cancers (including brain cancer)
4) It is highly addictive
Both vapes and cigarettes contain nicotine.
But vapes often deliver more nicotine than cigarettes.
Research suggests nicotine may be as addictive as cocaine.
A 2019 study found vapes to be even more addictive than cigarettes.
5) It looks trashy
Vaping makes you look low-class. Literally and figuratively.
The nicotine from vaping dehydrates your skin, leading to:
• Dryness
• Wrinkles
• Slow wound healing
Fellating an exhaust pipe does not make you look cool.
It makes you look low-class.
5 reasons why vaping is a stupid habit:
1) It is bad for your heart and lungs
2) It contains chemicals
3) It destroys your brain
4) It is highly addictive
5) It looks trashy
