E-Cigarettes Are Fooling Young Vapers Into Thinking They’re Making Safer Choices

A study conducted by Ohio State University found that teens who are using e-cigarettes could begin showing systems like shortness of breath and bronchitis in as little as 30 days.

A major problem, though, is that these young vapors are inclined to believe they’re choosing a healthier way to smoke — when it’s just not true. “The overall perception out there is that e-cigarettes are better than cigarettes, but nothing is for free,” a pediatrician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, told Yahoo! Life.

The immediate question is: How are these children getting ahold of these health damaging devices? Could the tobacco industry be at fault?
