Although e-cigarettes are currently regulated by the FDA, they come with hazards that are overlooked because they are viewed as a “healthy” alternative to smoking. The combination device works by vaporizing water with organic compounds including nicotine and delivering it to the lungs of the user. While this does not involve smoke inhalation, which has been linked to lung cancer and tar buildup in the lungs, it does allow for potent drug delivery. Often times, it is difficult to gauge how much nicotine is being delivered while vaping as there is so much variation between devices. This, in turn, leads to the opportunity for rapid addiction and adverse health effects that have not been well studied to this point. As a cultural phenomenon, smoking and, now, e-cigarette use is condoned by the general public. While smoking has been on the decline, it is important to ensure that users are aware of the harmful effects of vaping before they begin to manifest themselves as public health issues.
