Introduction to Vaping and Its Appeal

Vaping emerged in the early 2010s as a novel alternative to traditional smoking, attracting many with its initial design resembling cigarettes. The devices use a combination of chemicals, nicotine, and various flavors to create an appealing experience, making it especially attractive to young people. With the rise of unique flavors and redesigned vaping devices, nearly three million high school students in the U.S. reportedly engaged in vaping at some point. The ease of use, coupled with the absence of lingering odors associated with smoking, contributed to its widespread popularity among both social circles and individuals seeking a pleasurable experience.
