Betoota Heights teenager Melanie Sousa (15) has dipped her toes into the world of vices today as she tried a few puffs on a vape just to see if she would enjoy a lifetime addicted to nicotine.
Despite definitely only being for people over 18, single use vapes come in a wide variety of colours and flavours that are bound to make you feel that much cooler while you wag geography.
Taking a hit from her cousin’s pineapple and coconut 1200 puff vape, Sousa exhaled and contemplated if she might look forward to a future filled with the constant need to relax with a sweet carcinogenic treat.
Turns out, she just might.
“Ah wow, I feel it through my whole head and body,” stated Sousa, unaware she’d just experienced the only guilt-free nicotine inhalation she would ever have.
“Wow, it actually tastes like pineapple.”
Sousa then spent the next half hour trying to do smoke rings, while her vape-owning cousin watched on.
“Yeah she’s chewing through it but honestly I don’t mind right now, I need a break from that thing. It’s like having another phone, I am always wondering where it is, I’m usually thinking about it, I sort of wish she’d just take it away!”
Luckily for Sousa’s vaping cousin, it appears as if the 15-year-old might treat herself to a lifetime of bouncing on and off nicotine to add some much needed flair to the crushing trials of life.
“I’m trying strawberry next!”
MORE TO COME.
