Is Vaping Worse than Smoking?
E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, are a type of device that heats a nicotine-containing liquid and vaporizes it. The vapor is inhaled and helps produce a similar effect to traditional cigarettes. Although e-cigarettes were initially introduced as a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes, usage has recently surged to epidemic levels and has proven to pose a serious risk to public health.
Consistent visits and check-ups with your primary care doctor can help prevent or catch any potential side effects of e-cigarette usage.
