I’ve noticed that some teens are using weed pens too, and it feels like that whole vaping thing is just snowballing into something bigger than we expected. I mean, I get that vaping can help people quit smoking, but it feels like we overlooked the impact on kids. It's definitely a tricky issue, but I think the messaging needs to be more clear—vaping should be a tool for adults, not something for kids to experiment with.

I think the "95% safer" messaging did more harm than good. It made vaping seem like a harmless alternative, but now we’re seeing more young people picking it up, even if they never smoked cigarettes in the first place.
