The menace of pods and vapes is spreading among youngsters, who find them satisfying and consider them some sort of a status or fashion symbol. Bad peer influence, poor parenting, and a crooked sense of adventurism are some of the causes behind the spread of this negative tendency. It affects the individuals in direct and indirect ways. Long-term exposure to the smoke leads to several respiratory disorders, while the nicotine makes the inhaler totally dependent on it, and disrupts the normal functioning of the brain. The government must take concrete steps to control this growing culture.
