South Carolina One of the Most Vape-Obsessed States in America

Author Randi Moultrie
September 12th, 2022 1:09 PM

Looks like South Carolina is becoming famous for something else, vaping. A recent study done by ProVape shows that South Carolina is among the top states in the country that are vaping-obsessed. Does that sound like an accurate description to you?

According to ProVape, their research examined Google Trends data of search terms used by vape smokers. Those numbers were taken and combined to find out which states are the most obsessed with vaping. The study shows that West Virginia is the No. 1 state that is vaping obsessed. West Virginia is on top of its population but also has the highest search levels for popular vape terms. The terms are those including vape, vaping, vape shop, vapes, and more.

Although South Carolina did not make the No. 1 spot, we are pretty high up. South Carolina is in the top 10 and took home the No. 8 spot for the most vape-obsessed state. South Carolina ties for that spot with Montana. South Carolina’s population was in the top 3 for the highest number of searches for the word vape. Check out which other states were in the top 10 for the most vape-obsessed states in America.

Vape Obsessed States:

  1. West Virginia
  2. Wyoming
  3. Kentucky
  4. Hawaii
  5. Louisiana & Oklahoma
  6. Mississippi
  7. Idaho
  8. South Carolina & Montana
  9. Alabama
  10. Alaska

North Carolina came in on the list at No. 11. View the list here.

These Are The Most Dangerous Roads In North & South Carolina

Planning a road trip? You may want to avoid certain roads. These are the most dangerous roads in America. EarnSpendLive released a report of the most dangerous roads in each US state and the same interstate took the title in both North and South Carolina. The good news is, it’s not one that most Charlotte area residents travel often. The bad news, if you are going farther south or north you very well may end up on it.

These days every road feels more dangerous than it did even just a few years ago. Just on my way into work this morning I saw several drivers blatantly run red lights. But there are still some safe roads out there. But others, if you can it may just be best to completely avoid. This list compiled by EarnSpendLive features the most dangerous roads in the country, based on the average number of fatalities that occur each year. Many of these roads see millions of drivers each year, making fatal crashes inevitable.

Below you will find the most dangerous roads in North and South Carolina as well as some nearby states you may find yourself driving through on your next road trip. Stay safe out there!

  • Most Dangerous Roads

    To view the full country’s list go here.

  • North Carolina I-95

    I-95, North Carolina

    Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

    Located in the eastern part of the state Interstate 95 is the most dangerous accounting for the most traffic fatalities. 181.71 miles of the 1,280-mile-long thoroughfare go through North Carolina. An average of 24 deaths occur annually.

  • South Carolina I-95

    I-95, South Carolina

    Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

    It’s no surprise that 95 also is the deadliest in South Carolina. An average of 30 people die yearly on the South Carolina section of the interstate.

  • Georgia State Route 11

    State Hwy 11, Georgia

    Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

    Around 14 motorists per year perish on State Route 11 the 376-mile-long highway that stretches across the entire length of the state.

  • Tennessee I-40

    I-40, Tennessee

    Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

    I-40 spans the entirety of the state of Tennesee so it makes sense it would be the most dangerous. But the sheer number of deaths-52 yearly- is shocking.

    I-87, New York, NY
