The real problem with vaping
Cigarettes are highly addictive and dangerous, contributing to serious health issues like lung cancer and heart disease. Although smoking rates in the U.S. have declined since the mid-20th century, about 29 million Americans still smoke. Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., responsible for around 500,000 deaths annually, including 125,000 from lung cancer. E-cigarettes were created specifically to tackle this public health crisis by providing nicotine to dependent users without the harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes.
