I've seen a lot of people do use vape but don't smoke still vaping like it's totally fine with no effect. I myself have never touched a cigarette which I think is the worst invention and this vaping isn't different in my opinion.
It's just a way that's making people first used to with vape than at some point people will start smoking eventually. This is one of thing happened with my friend who was just vaping at the beginning and later when he got tired from it and wanted to try something new he caught that bad habit of smoking cigarettes and still can't leave it.
This is how an invention poison you without letting you realize that since it's made too normal around us.
Metaverse or Virtual Reality - Future of Social Interaction or the end?
With the rise of technology, we've been relying on it and smartphone is the prime example how it has changed the way of living and social interactions.To make people rely more on tech and stays disconnected from the reality is where virtual reality and meta verse is more focused if it's become widely acceptable.

The social interactions we make like going to a friend house, in a market to buy groceries or playing sport or gym etc.
This all could be easily replaced by Virtual Reality by simply wearing a VR you can perform all those actions at home instead of going out and making real social interactions and since it will be widely used around the globe it is going to be more addictive like smartphones nowadays.
More like a bad thing for social interactions, people will be more introverted. So, it is a kind of invention i see will slowly push people away from the reality.
Same Goes with Ai
There's plenty of reasons Elon musk and a lot of such high profile individuals are saying Ai is dangerous and the way it already has become a part of everyone's life on internet is kind of scary.

Now people are relying more on Ai to do research, create graphics, sound and this is slowly taking away the creative point of view. People who used to spend time thinking to come up with something creative are losing that and at some point with help of data we provide to Ai on every day basis it will become capable enough to replace most of humans in different fields. So, this is one the scariest invention I think is slowly poisoning us and we'll see it's impact in the coming time.
Wrapping Up...
There's a lot more such inventions having negative impact on our life without anyone realizing it and probably at some point when people will realize it'll be either too late or damage will take long enough to recover.
In the end I'd like to know what's your point of view and thoughts about it in the comments.
