The Spin
Narrative A
The health risks of vaping are potentially more severe than smoking due to continuous usage patterns and the ability to vape in more locations. The combination of metals, chemicals, and flavoring compounds in vapes causes significant damage to blood vessels and brain function, warranting immediate regulatory action to prevent a future health emergency.
Narrative B
Millions of people have been using vaping products safely for years, with available data suggesting vapes pose only 5% of the health risks associated with cigarettes. Vaping remains an important tool for smoking cessation and should continue to be available as a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes.
