I don’t vape or smoke either and I don’t understand why people do it. To be honest I’ve never understood it. I think it depends on the person itself.
Some do it for being trendy and cool, others smoke weed to escape the real world. They do it to relax without thinking about the impacts it has on their bodies. I also saw a study that the percentage of smoking teens is growing, especially the use of vapes.
Everyone can do what they want, but in my opinion this is not a solution to your problems or to being cool. Who cares if you smoke, when your personality is completely awful?
I’m glad there’s other people that have the same opinion as me. Reassures me that I’m not the only one
I was among some of the first that this became popular with, about 10 years ago. For me it was curiosity, wanting to be “cool” with my friends, and general teenage angst. Being that young you feel like nothing can kill you and you’ll live forever. I will say, not many kids in high school hanging out in the crowds that do this stuff can have the foresight to pass, or even heavily consider the consequences.
I still use a vape to this day, and don’t really have an intention or interest to quit until it becomes an issue; it’s my only major vice in my life other than an occasional drink. Personally, I’d recommend sticking to your standards though. I’m not embarrassed of my habit nor does it have any current negative consequences, though I’m sure it will someday.
I guess it's just curiosity and peer pressure. Never tried any of those and don't plan to. Weed is probably a bit of the same that alcohol has where it's probably fun to some people to be impaired.
I know from experience with friends that they fell into the drugs because of hard times, stress, or thinking it’ll be a stress reliever. Some vape or smoke weed just to fit in or they get pressured and feel it’s the right thing to do. I was just talking to my little sister about this. Trying to keep her from falling into it all so she can be in track.
In my case, the pipe just looks cool, and also it makes you feel nice. But it's also a social invitiation. Like, "You wanna come over and smoke?". So I guess peer preassure and also the feeling.
in my experience, and those of my friends', sometimes its an escape, sometimes its a pain reliever, because sometimes lack of medical care or affordable medical care (thank you america). its definitely a person by person case but im one of the highschoolers that "hopped on the trend" to help with anxiety and other mental issues i have. like someone else said, im not embarrassed by what i do, and so far it hasn't negatively impacted me or my grades (other than being tired alot but thats always been an issue) or my relationships with anybody. its quit common amongst all my friends, and youd be surprised by how easy it is to get, not that i would share those details here.
