One Puff Away: The Real Cost of Vaping

What starts as curiosity can quickly become a habit. A borrowed vape from a friend, a sweet flavour, or a social media trend—and before long, vaping can become part of everyday life. But behind the colourful devices and flavoured clouds lies a growing health concern that many teens and parents don't fully understand. In this episode of Health Matters, we speak to a leading university researcher about the science behind vaping, the reality of nicotine addiction, and the impact vaping can have on the lungs, heart and developing brain. We also unpack common myths, explore why vaping has become so popular among young people, and discuss the growing concern around youth vaping in South Africa. Whether you're a parent looking for answers, a teen trying to separate fact from fiction, or someone who vapes and wants to understand the risks, this episode delivers expert insights, practical advice and the facts you need to know.One puff may seem harmless—but the long-term consequences can last far longer than you think.
