Dangers of E-Cigs

E-Cigs as an Epidemic

Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared youth e-cigarette use as an epidemic.

E-cigarettes are battery powered devices that heat a solution of liquid nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals creating an aerosol that is inhaled by the user. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nicotine is addictive and has lasting consequences for youth brain development including impaired cognitive functioning and the development of addiction pathways in the brain.
