"Nicotine exposure before age 25 disrupts brain development, causing permanent cognitive impairments. Despite the risks and new regulations, vape products continue to be marketed aggressively to young people. Many teens are unaware that vape products contain nicotine."
"Media reports characterize her condition as 'severe complications of the flu, exacerbated by vaping,' which the daughter had taken up just one year prior. This is only the latest; a Google news search returns dozens of such stories within the past year alone."
Vaping poses unique dangers to adolescents and young adults whose brains are still developing until age 25. Nicotine exposure during this critical period causes permanent cognitive impairments. Despite new regulations, vape products are aggressively marketed to youth through social media, influencers, and targeted campaigns offering discounts and incentives. Many teens remain unaware that vape products contain nicotine. Recent cases document severe health complications from vaping, including respiratory infections and hospitalizations. Vaping differs from conventional cigarettes in its delivery methods, marketing strategies, and particular vulnerabilities it creates for users under 25, making it especially harmful during critical brain development years.
