There's nothing good about it. Whether it's to look cool, to act cool, to be cool, you know.
Vaping has become a hot topic, especially among teens and young adults. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad takes a deep dive into the world of vaping, shedding light on its growing prevalence and the serious risks it poses. With vapes now looking like everyday objects such as USB drives, they can easily go unnoticed by parents and teachers. This makes it all the more important for parents to stay informed and vigilant.
Tom doesn't hold back as he discusses the alarming trend of vaping in schools, where kids are puffing away in bathrooms and other hidden spots. It's not just nicotine they're inhaling; some are even using vapes to consume drugs like crack cocaine. The episode paints a clear picture of why vaping is more than just a harmless fad—it's a potential gateway to addiction and other health problems. For parents worried about their children getting hooked, Tom offers practical advice.
He stresses the importance of having open conversations with kids about the dangers of vaping. Monitoring their behavior closely and seeking professional help if needed are also key steps in keeping them safe. Interestingly, Tom also touches on how vapes are sometimes used in addiction recovery. At Real Recovery Talk, clients are allowed to vape as an alternative to smoking cigarettes, but their usage is closely monitored to ensure they’re not using it as a means to get high.
This episode is a must-listen for any parent concerned about the impact of vaping on their children. Tom's candid discussion provides valuable insights and actionable tips to help protect young people from the hidden dangers lurking in those seemingly harmless clouds of vapor.
