Quit Nicotine!

E-cigarettes & Vaping

E-cigarette use poses a significant – and avoidable – health risk. Besides increasing the possibility of addiction and long-term harm to the 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.
