Vaping Is More Popular Than Opioids Among Young People - And That's A Public Health Win | Science 2.0

Vaping Is More Popular Than Opioids Among Young People - And That's A Public Health Win | Science 2.0: 
"...Young people who take up vaping rather than opioids today are a lot better off than a generation ago.
Obviously no one is suggesting young people should take up vaping any more than health advocates want young people taking up energy drinks. 
But either of those two are superior to getting hooked on opioids, which could lead to heroin or fentanyl and serious consequences. 
And the 2017 Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey of eighth, 10th and 12th graders in schools nationwide shows opioid use is way down. 
Yes, some young people have experimented with e-cigarette type devices, but they aren't all nicotine. Some use marijuana and some use flavors. 
Any of those are safer than fentanyl."
