More young adults are skipping alcohol … good news for their livers and long-term health. But while fewer are sipping cocktails, more are reaching for vapes or marijuana. E-cigarettes are now the most-used tobacco product among young people, and cannabis use is rising fast, especially in THC drinks and edibles. While these may seem like “healthier” ways to unwind, vaping and smoking still carry real risks for your lungs and brain. The bottom line? Whether it’s a beer, a vape, or an edible—moderation and education matter most. Your body and future self will thank you.
