Vaping amongst Youth and Peer Pressure!

YouTube video

*The world that we live in is competitive to its core, especially for the younger generation. Everything is now a competition; a competition between students, friends, amongst parents, social competitiveness, on the basis of culture, religion, caste, color, gender and anything or everything that one can think of.

If you still can’t think of everything as a competition, take a look at our business industry, everyone is competing against each other, it’s not more like what we are doing the best but its more about in what ways can I tell people that a particular product is not good, or that we have something that “they” don’t have.

Well, if the whole world is functioning this way, that is what our kids will grow into, as is the case in present times. Teenagers are doing things that they might not do had it not been the fear and pressure of competition, of doing what everyone does, and to do it better.

Take a look at vaping for instance; the industry of vaping is growing rapidly and faster than ever. The reason behind it is that it is not just used by people in order to quit smoking anymore but is also a trend, something that is considered to be cool in the younger generation.

The relation between peer pressure and vaping is from the very beginning. As it is compared to the regular cigarettes which also have the same relation with peer pressure, the only difference might be of the age group.

The issue with peer pressure is that it is not used in the healthy ways that it should be, just like vaping. Vaping and vape juice for that matter have mostly been marketed on the basis of a reason to quit smoking, a shift to a less harmful habit. Although we do know that the enticing flavors offered also grabs the attention of kids.

Same is the case with peer pressure, as long as it is promoting healthy competition in maybe education or sports, it should be promoted but when it is used for such things and practices, one cannot stop but point out how severely it is affecting our youth.

We can’t blame teenagers completely for this though; the reason behind it is that in this competitive era, if you are not doing something that is a part of your circle, you can be even bullied for not doing something which in the first place is wrong and unhealthy. Friends who are there to support you can at times be the reason for your stress and depression which also at the end of the day might lead you to such habits.

The point that everyone needs to understand here is that we should use everything in the right capacity and for the right cause. Vaping is for people who are determined to quit smoking, not for people who would end up doing both, and certainly not for kids who have never smoked, and are just doing it because some star or a group of friends that they admire did it!
