Peer Pressure For Kids To QUIT Vaping Comes From An Unexpected Direction
For once, TikTok does something that will actually make people's lives better
There is no end of social pressure for kids to conform to the latest thing, especially when that ‘latest thing’ involves jumping on the latest virtue-signalling bandwagon.
For young people that probably means TikTok.
Normally, we don’t have much positive to say about China’s spyware app. It’s been a net negative to Western society — and that seems to be exactly what the algorithm was written to accomplish.
But…
Whether this is an unintended consequence or not…
TikTok’s peer pressure is helping convince kids to kick the Vape habit.
The younger generation’s love of vaping has sparked global concern, with disposable vapes soon to be axed in the UK under new Government plans to prevent children from becoming addicted to the devices.
But now, there is finally a cause strong enough to encourage socially conscious youngsters to go cold turkey – showing ‘solidarity’ with the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Protestors have recognised that the DRC is currently facing a humanitarian crisis exacerbated by an increased demand for cobalt, a resource concentrated in the Congo, which is used in the lithium-powered batteries found in vapes.
Gen Z’s response to the problem has been to quit the nicotine devices to drive down cobalt demand in the Congo – and track the process on social media. —DailyMail
Of course, if these same kids were being intellectually honest, they would realize that the Green Energy revolution they are trying to press relies on exactly the same cobalt and therefore, exactly the same child labor they are quitting vapes to reduce.
We’re happy to see the kids stop sucking back weird concoctions of sketchy chemicals.
But how long will it be until the penny drops for them that the entire economy they are demanding the rest of us adopt (under duress, if necessary) runs on the very same tainted fuel?
