Even if you aren't well-versed
on vaping, you probably know
this much: Its popularity has
grown exponentially in recent years, and
questions abound about its safety.
Sales of Juul, the most popular brand
of vaping product in the U.S., increased
641 percent from 2016 to 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Juul is a battery-powered
e-cigarette, shaped like a USB drive, that
heats liquid containing nicotine, producing
a vapor that users inhale.
"E-cigs are not safe, and they raise
particular concerns for youths, because
nicotine has been shown to raise the risk
of harm to brain development in youths
and young adults," says Cliff Douglas,
vice president of tobacco control for the
American Cancer Society.
He explains the basics of vaping and
its dangers.
