For years, vapes and e-cigarettes have been ruining the lives of innocent people. These seemingly harmless devices can lead to addiction, exposing you to toxic chemicals that are extremely dangerous for your body. You can also experience irreversible damage in your lungs such as lung inflammation. To make matters worse, vaping and e-cigarettes can raise your heart rate and blood pressure and increase risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, blood clotting, seizures, fainting, tremors, severe headaches, and nausea. They are especially harmful in young kids whose brains are still growing. Exposing them to these chemicals can affect attention, learning, mood, and impulse control. 

As years pass, more and more people are beginning to vape, leading to increased harm throughout the globe. According to the law Tobacco 21, people must be of 21 years of age or older to buy vapes or e-cigarettes. However, this continues to happen. In 2025, 8% of American middle and high school students reported vaping. These numbers are extremely high, and will continue to rise if we don’t do something about it.

Please help me stand against vaping and e-cigarettes by signing this petition. Together, we can make a change to prevent kids from becoming addicted to nicotine. This will save them from the harmful, dangerous effects of vaping and e-cigarettes. I have heard many stories of people who have lost their lives to vaping and e-cigarettes, and I want to make a change to stop that from happening. We can make a difference, one signature at a time. By signing this petition, you are supporting the following changes:

1. The government must strengthen local and state enforcement of the Tobacco 21 law by increasing checks to make sure that stores are following the rules. Also, they must increase the penalties for breaking the Tobacco 21 rule.
2. The government must ban all flavored vapes that target children.

Now it’s up to you. Will you help me to change the world and prevent against vaping and e-cigarettes?

Note: all donations to this petition will be given to the Truth Initiative, whose goal is to free people from nicotine addiction that vaping and e-cigarettes causes.
