Health Experts Warn of Risks Linked to Vaping and E-Cigarette Use
Vaping, popular among youth as a modern alternative to smoking, poses significant health risks according to medical experts. The aerosol from e-cigarettes contains nicotine, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and carcinogens that can damage lungs and other organs. Nicotine addiction is a major concern, especially for adolescents, as it may affect brain development. Exposure to second-hand vape aerosol can cause respiratory issues. Additionally, e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI), linked to harmful additives like vitamin E acetate, has emerged as a serious health threat.
