Are Gen Z's vaping habits getting out of hand?

Evening Standard

Vaping’s lack of lingering smell and fire risk means that many users vape freely wherever they choose. It starts in the home, then graduates to more explicitly forbidden locations as a vaper grows in confidence. For every untriggered fire alarm, a vaper becomes increasingly emboldened. You no longer think, ‘Where shouldn’t I vape?’ but instead ‘Where couldn’t I vape?’

00:00i think it could be like a little bit disrespectful with some people who doesn't smoke or who have like

00:05uh health issues and i think like as gen c they just don't think about it they just do it because

00:11they want to also because of like the lack of smell people feel comfortable smoking around

00:16other people not double like not thinking whether like it might bother other people like personally

00:20it bothers me because i'm still thinking like that that's like physical secondhand smoke yeah

00:24like i don't want to smell that you know even though it smells like i don't know passion fruit

00:29i still like don't want to inhale that one of my classmates just brought away to class

00:33and he started smoking in the restroom like the common restroom of the classrooms and the other

00:39student who was not okay with it he ended up having like almost like a fit because of the whole smoke

00:45because there was no area for it to escape and it all went into people that were not okay with it so

00:49i've seen people they inside trains or like restaurants and like that's pretty standard and then

00:56i see people complain to them older generations complain to gen z and i was thinking this one

01:00specific scenario and she got so mad at him she said i'm not vaping in your face i also agree that

01:04was really rude you shouldn't be vaping inside trains or like public areas but it takes you back to when

01:09smoking was allowed inside of restaurants and that was a regular thing there are people that respectfully

01:15know that they go to the smoking areas or they go out of class to vape there's nothing wrong with that

01:20that's very respectable but then there should be like stricter action taken against people that

01:26decide to do it in a classroom or in a restroom that clearly does not have ventilation enough to

01:31be vaping there usually people stick to the etiquette there's exceptions you know like the odd person who

01:37might vape in the toilets in the airport but it doesn't doesn't bother me i feel like it's been where

01:43it is at for many for like a few years i feel like i'm kind of used to it there are a lot of people that

01:49do know how to do it respectfully so to say that gen z are getting out of hand that's not fair

01:54it's just some people are getting out of hand maybe it's more popular among the young

01:59people but um i think if we need to be concerned about something it's probably about children vaping

02:05and not about you know gen z or adults regulations started to happen towards smoking and i think the

02:10same thing will happen for vaping it's just that it's a new industry that we don't know very much about

02:16yet and it's it's being spoken about like through these things so it's really about education it

02:22comes from home or stricter regulations because people do are scared of fines they don't want to

02:28pay up money for vaping so i think that could work
