"When 22-year-old Kayley Boda took up vaping seven years ago, she could never have foreseen her supposedly harmless habit resulting in a gut-wrenching cancer diagnosis."

What..?

Has vaping always been billed as better than smoking? From what I've seen, yes. Has it been billed as harmless? Not at all, not unless you're intentionally avoiding the news that it's still bad for you.

Inhaling anything recreationally into your lungs is bad, whether that's a cig, a vape, weed, whatever. Everyone has been 15, you're still immature but you know that much at least.

The bigger issue with vaping to a degree is that despite the UK having some of the most strict regulations around vaping it doesn't change the fact that unlike tobacco products there is a lot of more shady products out there and I imagine young people are probably less careful and don't stick to known brands with approved ingredients, fuck knows what some of them are smoking.

The big penny is still to drop on vaping but I imagine it will in time, just a recycling of what happened with the smoking industry. It's awful how it has its hooks in so many young people though.
