“Many students believe that vaping or Juuling is a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes, but that’s not true. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 68deaths from e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). Vaping also raises teenagers’ risk of severe complications from COVID-19.

Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can impact brain development. Some e-cigarettes also contain other harmful chemicals such as:

• Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – A psychoactive component of the marijuana plant, which may contain Vitamin E acetate for vaping purposes.
• Formaldehyde – A gas often used in building materials, manufactured wood, adhesives, and other materials.
• Cadmium – Metal found in batteries.
• Arsenic – A poisonous substance that is often used to kill rodents.”
