Vaping used to be a small thing, but now it's huge all over the world. It's changed the way people smoke and how they get nicotine. The technology behind vaping has come a long way, with new and better things being created all the time. Vaping started in the early 2000s when a guy from China named Hon Lik made the first electronic cigarette. He wanted to find a safer way to smoke after his dad died from lung cancer. His invention used a battery to turn liquid with nicotine into vapor. When e-cigarettes came out, smokers had a new way to get nicotine without all the bad stuff in regular cigarettes. People liked the idea of not smoking but still getting their nicotine fix. Companies started making better e-cigarettes with longer battery life and more vapor.
