## Resource

Germany’s health officials are sounding the alarm as vaping and smoking surge among teens, threatening years of tobacco prevention progress. With e-cigarettes now a gateway to nicotine addiction—and even creeping into elementary schools—experts warn that while adults may see vaping as a cleaner alternative, it’s dangerously addictive for youth. Flavors marketed to kids, social media glamorization, and unknown long-term health risks are fueling a public health crisis. Officials are pushing for flavor bans, stricter age limits, and higher taxes to curb use before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
