Teen va**ng: far more dangerous than it looks. π¨

It might seem obvious that va**ng is harmful.
But do we really understand just how harmful it is?
I recently listened to a medical discussion that unpacked the reality, and honestly, it was sobering.ππ½
Va**ng has exploded in schools.
Itβs become the βcasual, reach-for-it-anytimeβ habitβ¦
Marketed as cool. Tasty. Harmless.
But that couldnβt be further from the truth. π’
π¨It delivers concentrated ni****ne (one of the most addictive substances) , directly to a still-developing brain, disrupting learning, memory, and emotional development.
π¨It can cause βpopcorn lung: a scarring of the tiny airways in the lungs that is irreversible.
π¨It harms the cardiovascular system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure.
π¨And itβs training an entire generation into dependence - one puff at a time.
Weβre not just talking about flavoured smoke.
Weβre talking about a neurotoxic, inflammatory chemical cocktail, being inhaled into bodies that are STILL growing.
It looks harmless. It feels harmless.
But the damage is real and it runs deep.
Letβs talk to our teens. Letβs equip them with the truth.π
Take it from me. The cost of silence is not worth it.
