The Real Dangers of Vaping Are Only Now Beginning to Be Understood
Nicotine toxicity, formaldehyde, and a whole host of new carcinogens. Yes, vaping is bad for you. Perhaps, experts are starting to think, worse than cigarettes. Lets start with some good news: Fewer teenagers are smoking than ever before. According to a January 2019 report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the number of teens who smoke cigarettes daily has dropped 88 percent since the mid-1990s. But, as we all know from the cloudy corners on the outskirts of high schools, more teens are flirting with the dangers of vaping instead. Many more. Today, a whopping 21 percent of high schoolers use e-cigarettes, up from just 1.5 percent in 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For middle-school kids, vaping rates rose from 0.6 percent in 2011 to 4.9 percent last year, a 49 percent increase over 2017.
