Think vaping is the safer alternative?
Think again.
While it might seem like a trendy choice, the truth is that vaping can be even more harmful than smoking cigarettes.
Don't be fooled by the flavours and the fancy gadgets. Vapes are packed with toxins and chemicals that can wreak havoc on your health. From lung damage to heart problems, the risks are real.
So, before you take another puff, consider the facts. Your health is worth more than a fleeting buzz.
