The Department of Health (DOH) is pushing for a total vape ban because the risks are now clearer than the marketing. Vapes were promoted as the “lighter option,” but hospitals began seeing young people with breathing problems, early lung damage, and fast nicotine addiction—even among teens who never smoked before.
That’s why the DOH is taking a firm stance. They warn that vape aerosol contains chemicals that can harm the lungs and the heart, and recent studies around the world support this. Vaping isn’t harmless, and it is spreading among teenagers faster than traditional cigarettes ever did.
Some people online say, “Then cigarettes should be banned too.”
But that idea doesn’t match reality.
It is extremely difficult to ban cigarettes outright.
Cigarettes are tied to long-standing laws, heavy taxes, farming industries, and millions of adult smokers who have relied on them for decades. Removing them overnight would create black markets, enforcement problems, and the same failures seen in past attempts to ban alcohol or drugs. Most countries focus on reducing smoking, not instantly erasing it.
Vapes are different. They spread fast, attract younger users, and are marketed in ways that seem harmless when they are not. That is why the DOH is focusing on them now.
The goal is simple: protect the young before the habit becomes a long-term problem.
Vaping isn’t the “light” choice it claims to be.
And the DOH wants the next generation growing up with healthy lungs, not early trouble.
