Unmasking Vaping: A Crucial Conversation for Parents and Teens

We're not making this up, you know, because for our health we're not doing that because we want. And I'm going to just bet you that there are a bunch of people who are going to listen to this episode and maybe their kids are vaping and they think it's okay because they think it's not as bad as cigarettes.
Is vaping really the safer alternative to smoking that it's often made out to be? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', host Joanie Sigal sits down with Michael DeLeon from steeredstraight.org to tackle this pressing issue head-on. DeLeon, who has dedicated years to educating young people about the risks of vaping, sheds light on the alarming tactics e-cigarette companies use to hook a younger audience.
While these companies market their products as tools to quit smoking, they're actually creating a new generation of nicotine addicts. This episode dives deep into the murky waters of vaping, exploring its impact on young people and the often overlooked health risks. DeLeon shares his personal story and discusses the role parents can play in preventing their kids from picking up the habit.
The conversation also touches on the political and legal aspects of vaping regulation, making it clear that there's still a lot we don't know about the long-term effects of these products. You'll hear about the dangers of THC vaping and why it's crucial for parents to stay informed and proactive. This isn't just a discussion; it's a call to action for anyone concerned about the well-being of young people.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who cares about this issue, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Fasten your seatbelts for a bumpy but essential ride through the world of vaping. By the end, you'll be better equipped to have those tough conversations with the young people in your life and take steps to prevent addiction before it starts.
