Summary: Vaping is the act of smoking an e-cigarette or a similar device. These devices don't produce smoke-but they're still dangerous! The vapor that e-cigarette users inhale and exhale includes fine particles with toxic chemicals. Many of these chemicals are carcinogens that are also linked to respiratory and heart disease. Many e-cigarettes use a liquid that contains nicotine. Other people use e-cigarettes to vape other drugs. In this book, readers will learn the truth about vaping and how to address peer pressure to try it. Informative fact boxes provide readers with statistics regarding the dangers of this growing problem. (Publisher)
