Send us a textVaping: Innovation, Risks, and Public Health Response Once hailed as a revolutionary alternative to smoking, vaping has evolved into one of the most hotly debated public health issues of our time. In this episode, we trace vaping’s journey—from Herbert A. Gilbert’s 1960s “smokeless cigarette” patent, to Hon Lik’s 2000s breakthrough, to the sleek, flavor-packed devices that swept youth culture. We’ll explore the science behind vape technology, the allure of sweet flavors and high-tech designs, and the explosive rise of brands like JUUL. But behind the vapor clouds lies a more complicated truth: addiction, respiratory risks, mental health concerns, and the shadow of vaping-related illnesses like EVALI. We’ll unpack the global regulatory response, the tug-of-war between harm reduction advocates and public health critics, and the unanswered questions about long-term safety. Whether you see vaping as a quit aid, a cultural phenomenon, or a looming health crisis, this is the full story—science, policy, and the people caught in between. Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.comCozy EarthUse Code INFOGO to get 41% OFF  Old GloryUse Code INFOGO to get 15% off at checkoutPatreonSupport the show by becoming Patreon .
