Why is this in the "Good section you ask?
This one part here - 5150

"t's entirely possible that some teens are using e-cigarettes to help them quit smoking; maybe that's why the tobacco numbers are going down (except for hookah use, that's on the rise). And since e-cigarettes don't have the tar and other toxins present in cigarette smoke, they are a reasonable way to approach quitting, even though we don't have enough data yet to know if that approach truly works."

Don't some kids refer to their larger mods as their hookahs? Perhaps some of that hookah increase is more vaping.

The only thing that belongs in your lungs is air....but I started smoke as a kid 35 years ago, and I wish I'd had someone there to break my fingers for picking up tobacco. I am really concerned that young kids are picking up vaping to be cool,and it could lead them into a nicotine habit.But they are all cloud chasing to look cool and are using low levels if nicotine,and they should be able to quit easily....still and all I'd rather they looked cool vaping huge cloud, than look cool with a cigarette in their hand.
