Grandparents Try E-cigarette for First Time, Mistake it for Drugs
A TikTok user convinced his grandparents to try vaping, but they felt dizzy and asked if it was drugs.

A man named Luca convinced his grandparents to try vaping for the first time. However, after trying it out, they asked if he was giving them drugs because they felt dizzy and lightheaded.


Sunzi, using the username Lucapilati_, shared a video on TikTok in which he gave his grandparents an electronic cigarette. The couple can be seen blowing smoke and appearing pleased with the gift.


The title of this video is: "My grandparents try vaping for the first time... and later ask if it's a drug because they felt dizzy and lightheaded.


The UK's National Health Service (NHS) has stated that e-cigarettes are "far less harmful than cigarettes" and recommended them as a means of reducing cigarette usage.


Johns Hopkins University has stated that electronic cigarettes may be just as bad, if not worse. Both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes contain dangerous and addictive toxins, primarily nicotine.


Furthermore, many users of electronic cigarettes are obtaining a higher level of nicotine than from combustible tobacco products. It is noted that users can purchase ultra-strong pods with higher nicotine concentrations or increase the voltage of their electronic cigarettes for a harder hit.


In the United States, electronic cigarettes are becoming a growing issue for children and young people. According to the annual Youth Smoking and Health Action Survey by YouGov, the usage of e-cigarettes among children aged 11 to 17 has risen from 4% in 2020 to 7% in 2022.


Their data also shows that disposable e-cigarettes are now the most widely used product among current e-cigarette users, growing from 7% in 2020 and 8% in 2021 to 52% in 2022, an increase of more than 7 times.


The video was first shared on the platform on Monday and has since been viewed over 562,800 times and received more than 51,000 likes.
