I agree with you on your argument regarding the risks associated with vaping. Despite vaping being safer than smoking, it still has adverse effects on an individual’s health. They contain additives and flavors whose composition can scar and damage the lungs, not to mention it still contains nicotine that is highly addictive. I also second your claim that vaping support’s an individual’s efforts to quit smoking. It is a way of inhaling nicotine without the toxins that come with the smoke. It is, however, essential to acknowledge that vaping cannot be a complete substitute for smoking because its long-term health consequences, risks and benefits are uncertain.

I agree with you that the two primary reasons why the Rooney rule was never actualized was that it was not bought into the light and practiced. This was because even though it is essential to support minority groups by giving them a chance to be coaches, the general managers always have a person in mind or a description of the kind of person they would want for a coach. Therefore when they have to choose, the ground is not always level, but they have their biases to determine who appeals to them and whom they feel that can deliver, leaving the minority groups out which have potential individuals to be coaches. The suggestion about a salary increase for teams with minority coaches is an excellent idea. If that were to happen, the team would be highly willing to have minority coaches due to the pay, and through that, the minority will have a say and a place to be proud of.

It is true that both vaping and smoking are unhealthy life choices. Both include the inhalation of nicotine substance which is highly addictive and harmful to one’s health. Generally, the lifestyle of a smoker deteriorates over time alongside their health. It increases their anxiety and tension levels such that they find it difficult to interact with other people. Due to fear of judgment and rejection by society, some smokers isolate themselves from their friends and family, which is harmful to one’s mental health. It becomes more challenging because nicotine is addictive, and they cannot get themselves out of it. Individuals, especially young people, should take the initiative of protecting their health and avoid smoking or vaping at all costs.
