Are adults the real victims of social media? Readers give their thoughts

Metro.co.uk
Readers debate social media's impact on adults, vaping risks versus smoking, and praise a humorous letter writer.

Summary

Metro readers share their views on three main topics. Jane from Islington argues that adults, not children, are the real victims of social media addiction, describing adults staring at phones like zombies. Dr Noorani, a GP, counters claims that vaping is safer than smoking, highlighting addiction risks, youth targeting, sleep disruption, and systemic health effects, advocating for stricter regulations akin to Australia's. Charlie Parrett supports the "Tobacco and Vapes Act" banning nicotine sales to those born after 2009, criticizing politicians like Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch for opposing it. Finally, Neil from Leicester praises Jeff from Nuneaton for his witty jokes that brighten readers' mornings.
