E-cigarettes & Vaping

E-cigarette use poses a significant – and avoidable – health risk. Besides increasing the possibility of addiction and long-term harm to brain development of young people and respiratory health, e-cigarette use is associated with the use of other tobacco products that can do even more damage to the body. Even breathing e-cigarette aerosol that someone else has exhaled poses potential health risks. Get updated information about the current outbreak of lung injury associated with E-cigarette use or vaping.
