The Influence of Social Media on Teen Smoking and Vaping

On today’s Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a focus on pedestrians experiencing a higher likelihood in being hit by an electric vehicle as opposed to gas-powered cars because of distracted driving as well as distracted pedestrians who don’t hear the EV approaching and step into the roadway without looking. Other discussions include a new study showing the life expectancy going up, questioning if the Avian flu could become the new COVID-19, how social media is influencing young people to take up vaping and smoking, and when allergies are better left to a homeopathic approach and when to reach for the over-the-counter medications or get with an allergist for further testing and a possible need for allergy shots.The conversation, then, shifts to answering listener questions like Telehealth and virtual visits for doctor’s as opposed to in-person doctor appointments, how a month without alcohol can do for your health, do water filters work in filtering microplastics in drinkable tap-water, and how does fasting work for or against your body. All of these questions are addressed in this week’s discussion between Doug and Dr. Ken. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
