One of the main concerns with vaping is the risk of lung injury and death. The CDC's latest release states that there have been over 500 cases of lung injury and seven deaths as the result of vaping. Not knowing why these injuries and deaths have occurred is a huge concern because without that knowledge many misconceptions and uncertainties around vaping have continued.

Another major concern is the adolescent epidemic associated with vaping. Data from Monitoring the Future shows that nearly 21% of high school seniors vaped in 2018, up from 11% in 2017. This same study also shows a significant increase in vaping among middle and even elementary school students. The FDA has also declared adolescent vaping an epidemic.

E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that work by heating a liquid into an aerosol that the user inhales and exhales. The e-cigarette liquid typically contains nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, flavorings, and other chemicals. Nicotine is the addictive drug found in regular cigarettes and other tobacco products. Research shows that e-cigarette aerosol often contains substances that can be harmful, including flavoring chemicals (like diacetyl, which is linked to lung disease), metals (like lead), and other cancer-causing chemicals.
