Anti-Vaping Information
Vaping can be harmful to your health. Here are some of the health risks of vaping:
Nicotine addiction
E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can cause withdrawal symptoms if you stop using it. Nicotine can also make anxiety and depression worse and affect memory, concentration, and difficulty focusing.
Lung disease
Vaping aerosols contain chemicals that can cause severe lung disease, including acetaldehyde, acrolein, and formaldehyde.
Heart disease
Nicotine can raise your blood pressure and increase your heart rate, which can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke.
Other health risks
Vaping can also increase your risk of developing other addictions and sleep problems.
