Vaping

The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is commonly referred to as vaping.  Although there are hundreds of different brands and styles of e-cigarettes, they are each the same in use.  They are battery-operated devices that have a cartridge, which holds a liquid solution.  When a person puffs, the e-cigarette vaporizes the liquid, and the user inhales the vapor.

Vaping can cause damage to a person’s lungs.  In addition, these activities can also affect a person’s immune system.  Learn more about the dangers of teen vaping by reading the parent resource guide here.
