As scientists announced last month the hole in the Ozone Layer is decreasing, but this wonderful news left us wondering, How? Why? 

The talented staff at the DailyER has been harassing the scientists all month asking these questions. How? Why? After repeated emails and voicemails without replies, one disgruntled scientist finally got back to us. 

Dr. Charles Williamson, who has a Ph.D. in Ozone Biology from Clemson, responded with the source of this giant hole patching fix and it’s surprising; it’s called vaping. Yes, the flavored tobacco that gives you the electric version of lung diseases is what is fixing the Ozone.

“It’s actually incredible science. The chemical make up of the vape liquid is perfect. Whatever they put in it causes the Ozone layer to close up, just like a stab wound on Wolverine,” Dr. Williamson explained to us, “All these deadly toxic chemicals are combining to fix the one thing that keeps us alive, and it’s amazing.” 

So next time you see that really douchy guy named Brad and he’s ripping a sick hit, while longboarding around campus, don’t be judgemental and annoyed with him. Instead, look at him with pride, because he is sacrificing his lungs and life for the health of our planet. You go, Brad!
