電子煙，YES還是NO？ TO VAPE OR NOT TO VAPE

Vaping is anything but harmless

電子煙霧化器，俗稱電子煙或電子煙筆等，擁有多種形狀和尺寸。

有些看起來像合法的紙菸；有些形狀像筆或隨身碟等日常用品，而且直接就在社群媒體上向青少年推銷兜售。

有一家公司的電子煙廣告便展現出吸電子煙的人一派輕鬆、和朋友嘻笑玩樂並且冒險犯難的形象—全都是對青少年極具吸引力的活動。

但，這只是業者的行銷伎倆，不要被騙了。

不過，對青少年而言，最大的吸引力其實在於味道。

電子煙有超過七千種煙液口味，其中很多都是糖果和水果風味，對年輕人尤其具有吸引力。

包裝上面可能也有欺騙的成分存在，有些電子煙看起來就像真正的糖果。

由於孩子們很難分辨出其中區別，因此可能最終會因為攝入這些產品而進了急診室。

毫不令人意外地，同儕壓力往往是青少年電子煙初體驗的原因。

拒絕朋友的提議然後轉身離開也許很困難，但是青少年必需確實思考屈從之後的長期後果。

電子煙的長期影響的確真實存在，因此我們應該認真看待這個問題並且加以警告提醒。

跟電子煙說NO可能並不容易；但是，你的身體會在往後的日子裡謝謝你

Vaping devices, known as e-cigarettes or vape pens among other terms, come in many shapes and sizes. Some look like regular cigarettes; others are shaped like everyday objects, such as pens or flash drives, and marketed to teens on social media. One company's advertisements showed vape users relaxing, having fun with friends and going on adventures- all alluring activities to teens. However, this is just a marketing trick, so don't be deceived.

But it's the flavorings that are the biggest attraction for adolescents. The more than

7,000 e-juice flavors, many of them candy and fruit, are especially enticing to young people. Packaging can be deceptive, too, because it often makes e-cigarette products look like real candy. It's hard for children to tell the difference, so they can end up in the emergency room from ingesting the products.

It comes as no surprise that peer pressure is often the reason that adolescents vape the first time. Turning down the offer and walking away may be difficult, but teens need to really consider the long-term consequences of giving in. 

Long-term effects of vaping are real and should be taken seriously and warningsheeded. Saying "no" to vaping may not be easy, but your body will thank you for the rest of your life.
