E-cigarette use has become an epidemic among youth, according to the US Surgeon General.

E-cigarette aerosol is
not harmless.
Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, heat a liquid – called e-liquid – to turn it into an aerosol or vapor. E-cigarette users inhale the aerosol into their lungs.
E-cigarettes can also be called “e-cigs,” “ehookahs,” “mods,” and “vape pens.” The word “vaping” refers to inhaling the “vapor” of an e-cigarette. “JUULing” refers to using one brand of e-cigarette called JUUL, which is popular among kids, teenagers and young adults. “Vape-free” means a location where e-cigarette use is prohibited.
