4 Things to Know About Vaping

In the last few years, there has been a sudden increase in the number of people preferring vaping over conventional smoking. Because vaping is safe and fun, people are choosing it as a better method to consume their favorite compound. Furthermore, because it doesn’t cause any lung illness, vaping is mainstream now. However, as we weigh the pros of this method, it is equally important to know about the cons as well. With much popularity of vaping, there has been a sudden increase in the number of lung injuries being caused by this method. This is the main reason that despite much awareness and proven benefits, vaping is still unsafe. Here are a few things you must know about it:

1. Symptoms of Vaping Caused Illnesses Vary

If you’re suffering from a health condition caused by vaping, the symptoms will vary from you to another person. For instance, people who engage in an illness caused by vaping often complain about dry cough, chest pain, and shortness of breath, fever, diarrhea, weight loss, chills and loss of appetite. However, some people don’t experience such symptoms and are suddenly diagnosed with a chronic illness. This is why research believes, having related illnesses and their symptoms differ from person to person.

2. Vaping is Loved By Youth

You will be shocked to know, around 3.6 million people were caught while vaping back in 2018. This proves that the global popularity of vaping has encapsulated the young minds to a great extent. Sadly, the percentage of high school students using vapes has jumped from 50% to 78%. Furthermore, around 48% of children in the middle school are active consumers of different juices and compounds through vaping. No wonder, vaping has affected a large part of the young population like nothing less than a plague.
