An electronic cigarette (e-cigarette or vape) is an electronic device that simulates tobacco smoking. Vapes contain nicotine and were designed by smokers to aid in quitting cigarettes. While vapes are useful for this goal, fancy flavors, and their convenience, could be drawing those to the device that would not have smoked in the first place. I break down everything you need to know about vaping with Sherald Sanchez, Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Toronto who is designing of youth vaping cessation methods for those interested in quitting vaping! We learn about the current landscape of vaping research, its possible negative health effects, and why vaping might be one of the best ways to quit smoking if other methods have not worked for you.
