A Critical Look at the Bigger Picture
If e-cigarettes were conclusively proven as cessation aids, they would likely be regulated and dispensed more rigorously, akin to other pharmaceutical interventions, rather than being widely accessible, often even to minors.

Instead, they are introducing millions of youth to nicotine addiction, potentially setting the stage for a new era of dependency.

The real mission should be to shield our youth from becoming mere pawns in a larger economic scheme, ensuring that public health, not profit, drives the narrative around vaping and its associated risks.
