It's crazy to think that in terms of bringing down the rate of smoking in The U S, I guess in 1964 was when they had that first U S surgeon general report that smoking causes cancer, leads to death, and about 42% of U S Americans smoked, and I think now we're somewhere around 14%.
Imagine a world where your teenager is more likely to pick up a vape pen than a textbook. That's the unsettling reality Laura Kelly, a health reporter for The Washington Times, dives into on this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast. Hosted by Duane Osterlind, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the alarming rise of nicotine addiction among teens due to e-cigarettes and vaping. Over the past six years, e-cigarettes have surged in popularity, becoming sleeker and more discreet.
One brand, Juul, has become a household name, particularly among teens and young adults. Laura explains how Juul's salt-based nicotine formula and enticing flavors have made it a go-to for young users. What's even more troubling? The vaping industry isn't tightly regulated by the FDA, allowing companies to market aggressively on social media and radio. Laura and Duane explore the federal government's struggle to keep up with these changes and the profound impact vaping has on teen behavior.
They discuss the potential backslide in reducing teen smoking rates and offer practical advice for helping kids quit this dangerous habit. The conversation also highlights the cunning advertising tactics used by e-cigarette companies to lure in young customers. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the well-being of our youth. It sheds light on an urgent issue that demands our attention and action.
Tune in to understand the addictive nature of vaping and how we can protect our teens from falling into this trap.
