Vaping and yeshiva world

 https://mishpacha.com/smoke-screen/

The rosh yeshivah shook his head and said, “There have been a lot of cases of this with tall, skinny vapers in Lakewood this year.”

When we heard what Mordy’s rosh yeshivah had said, my husband and I were devastated. If this is such a pervasive problem, why aren’t we doing more to stop it? How did we get to a place where our son, who had been “harmlessly” vaping for the past four years, would end up in the ER with a collapsed lung? But even worse were other questions: Would Levi get it? How addicted was he? While everyone around him vapes constantly, how will he be able to handle that pressure and stay away?

  1. Typical yeshivish thinking. The poskim say "Don't smoke because it's dangerous. My friend, Mendy, heard that vaping is like smoking but not dangerous. Ah ha!"

    1. Vaping was originally meant to be a safe alternative to tobacco
      smoking, but the evidence is now appearing to show it is not so safe.
