Pretty much.

Physically, cannabis vapes cause wheezing and respiratory problems more than the nicotine ones.

And a University of Michigan study found adolescent cannabis vapors reported more lung issues than tobacco smokers or nicotine vapors.

Right.

But that's the risk.

And better alternatives for cannabis are edibles, tinctures, or in my very unpopular opinion, not using at all.

There's this social perception that weed is safer to vape or smoke because it's natural.

And that's just not the case.

This does not make nicotine better to vape.

Nicotine alone can impair adolescent brain development until around age 25.

It changes how neural circuits form, which affects memory, attention, and increases addiction risk.

That's why, especially for young people, there's just no amount of nicotine that's safe.

No.

A study this year exposed pregnant mice to vape liquids with zero nicotine and just the base chemicals of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin.

Their offspring were born smaller with narrower skulls and bone changes.

Is that insane?

Yeah.

And it shows these so-called harmless carriers are not harmless.

And if you're pregnant, vaping of any kind, it's just a hard no.

Well, I mean, first, you need a plan.
