Alright, let’s talk about these disposable vapes with no nicotine, you know, the ones they say don’t got that stuff in ’em. I heard some young folks chatterin’ about ’em, so I figured I’d poke around and see what the fuss is all about.
First off, they call ’em “zero nicotine” or “0mg.” Sounds fancy, but all it means is they ain’t got that nicotine stuff that makes you all jittery and hooked. I ain’t never smoked myself, thank the Lord, but I seen enough folks coughin’ and wheezin’ to know it ain’t good for ya.
Now, these vapes, they come in all sorts of flavors, like fruit and candy and whatnot. Makes you wonder if they’re tryin’ to trick young’uns into tryin’ ’em. I seen some that look like little flashlights, all shiny and colorful. Kids these days, they like anything that lights up, I tell ya.
- They got these things called “puff counts.” Says how many times you can suck on it before it’s done. Some got hundreds, some got thousands. Lands sakes, that’s a lot of puffin’.
- And then there’s the “battery.” Seems like everything needs a battery these days. These vapes got ’em too, so you can heat up that juice and make the vapor. Don’t know what’s in that juice, but they say it ain’t got nicotine.
I read somewhere, on that internet thingy my grandson showed me, that even without nicotine, these vapes ain’t exactly healthy. Said something about irritatin’ your lungs and throat. Well, common sense tells ya, breathin’ in anything but good clean air ain’t gonna do you no favors. Reminds me of them old coal stoves, always makin’ folks cough.
But folks are buyin’ ’em, that’s for sure. Stores are sellin’ ’em left and right. They say it helps people quit smokin’ cigarettes, but I don’t know about that. Seems like tradin’ one bad habit for another, if you ask me. Like switchin’ from whiskey to moonshine, still gettin’ you drunk, just tastes different.
I also saw some places online, like that “Vapestore” place, sellin’ all kinds of these zero nicotine vapes. They got all the flavors you can think of, and different shapes and sizes. It’s a whole industry, I reckon. Makes you wonder how much money they’re makin’ off this stuff.
So, why are folks usin’ these nicotine-free vapes if they ain’t gettin’ that nicotine buzz? Well, some folks say it’s just the habit, the feelin’ of somethin’ in their hand and mouth. Like how some folks always gotta be chewin’ on somethin’, a toothpick or gum or whatnot. It’s an “oral fixation,” they call it.
And then there’s the flavors. Like I said, they got all kinds of crazy flavors. Maybe folks just like the taste, even if it ain’t got no nicotine. I tried a piece of that bubblegum-flavored stuff once, tasted like medicine to me, but what do I know? I’m an old woman who prefers the taste of good ol’ fashioned sweet tea.
Now, I ain’t here to tell nobody what to do. If folks wanna puff on these things, that’s their business. But I do think it’s important to know what you’re puttin’ in your body, nicotine or no nicotine. And just because somethin’ is legal don’t mean it’s good for ya. Remember that time they said margarine was better than butter? Turned out they were both just greasy, one way or another.
If you’re thinkin’ about tryin’ these vapes, or if you’re already usin’ ’em, maybe do a little research. Don’t just take the word of the folks sellin’ ’em. And if you’re tryin’ to quit smokin’, maybe talk to a doctor or somethin’. They might have some better ideas than suckin’ on a fancy flashlight.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on these disposable vapes with no nicotine. Take it or leave it. I’m just an old woman who’s seen a lot of things come and go, and I ain’t easily fooled. Just remember, common sense ain’t so common these days, so you gotta use your own noggin.
And for goodness sake, go outside and get some fresh air, that’s the best thing for your lungs. I don’t know why young people like staying in the house all day staring at those little screens. It ain’t natural.
