Peer pressure also influences vaping behavior, while environmental factors like acceptance in workplaces or offices promote its use. Additionally, lack of self-control, often due to the easy availability of vape devices, contributes to vaping. Brainstorming, or mind activity, helps keep oneself busy and facilitates content writing or productivity during working hours, stimulating thinking. Curiosity, or taking an interest in vaping skills or actions, can lead to vaping, often driven by social media content."
