This issue could have multiple causes, here are some possible explanations:
1. VAPE is less harmful than traditional tobacco. Many VAPE users are young people, and they may be more inclined to VAPE because the smoke of VAPE does not contain harmful substances such as tar, and is mostly water and food-grade glycerin.
2. Under social influence. All my friends around me were smoking VAPE, so I decided to try it too.
3. Some areas have begun to implement anti-smoking policies. These young people do not want to quit smoking, so they have found VAPE as an alternative.
However, VAPE also has its risks. It still contains nicotine and other substances, so you still have to use it with caution.
