Interesting social phenomena? Numbers taking up vaping exceeds numbers who took up smoking. OK some honesty here – I started smoking at the age of 16 and stopped in 2020. It was cool when I was 16, adverts and films had cool people smoking – OK so I was naive and stupid! But a tremendous amount of advertising supported my stupidity! However what attracts kids to vaping? It does not seem to be cool? Is peer pressure so overwhelming, and concerning? My local shop is approaching £100000 for vape sales? I have no idea about tobacco sales for comparison.
Are vapes actually safer? Or is the ‘safer’ publicity misleading? I personally cannot see how it can be safer? And as Kate suggested – how long before tobacco companies come up with a new alternative?
