DANGER OF VAPING
Introduction
Vaping refers to the inhaling of a vapor produced by an electronic e-cigarette (electronic
cigarette) or other vaping device. On the other hand, e-cigarettes represent battery-powered
smoking devices. E-cigarettes contain a liquid that normally contains flavorings, chemicals, and
nicotine (Mensah 89). Besides nicotine, electronic cigarettes contain harmful ingredients such as
ultrafine particles. Electronic cigarettes also contain flavorants for example diacetyl which
causes lung disease. This paper discusses the danger of vaping
Vaping has risks, irrespective of what an individual vape. The use of e-cigarettes
increases an individual risk of overwhelming health effects. The research study conducted by
Food and Drug Administration shows that use of a flavored product may lead to the consumption
of tobacco among teenagers. Other researchers argue that young people who consume a nicotine-
delivery product, for example, e-cigarettes have higher chances of using traditional tobacco
products such as cigarettes. The nicotine contained in many e-cigarettes is addictive and also
puts the health of teenagers at risk. Since the brain is not fully developed in young children, the
use of nicotine may cause lasting behavioral as well as cognitive impairments, for example,
interrupted the development of attention, challenges of learning as well as increased vulnerability
to addiction. Some researchers argue that nicotine mixed with a developing brain may cause
addiction, reduced impulse control as well as mood disorders (Kozlowski, Lynn and Gregory
