I don't want to use the word epidemic lightly, but let's just say that for decades prior to us talking about marijuana legalization or anything else, we had done a great job as a community, reducing the amount of tobacco use by youth and adults in the country, and tobacco use in the country had been dwindling for the past two or three decades, and I think it's safe to say that this vaping culture and the economics behind vaping has completely eradicated those gains.
Ever thought vaping was a harmless alternative to smoking? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with Dr. Joseph Lee to dissect the vaping phenomenon that's sweeping through the younger generation. They dive into the nitty-gritty of vaping versus smoking, shedding light on the different devices and substances involved. Spoiler alert: it's not just nicotine; other drugs are in the mix too. Dr.
Lee doesn't hold back as he discusses the real health risks associated with vaping, particularly for teens. The conversation takes a serious turn as they explore how vaping is undoing years of progress in reducing tobacco use among both youth and adults. But it's not all doom and gloom. They also talk about how parents can have meaningful conversations with their kids about vaping without pushing them away. Dr.
Lee emphasizes the importance of understanding your child's behavior and the potential paths it might lead to, rather than coming down too hard and risking a breakdown in communication. With global data showing a mixed bag—lower overall substance use but a rise in nicotine and marijuana vaping—this episode offers a balanced view of hope and caution. Tune in to get the full picture and arm yourself with the knowledge to tackle this modern-day challenge.
