Vaping may seem safer than smoking, but it has hazards. Explore them.

1. Nicotine Addiction

. Vaping delivers nicotine, a highly addictive substance, which can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms.

2. Respiratory Issues

E-cigarette vapor can cause serious respiratory problems. Users may experience coughing, wheezing, and even more severe conditions like bronchitis and pneumonia.

3.Lung Damage

Long-term use of e-cigarettes has been linked to irreversible lung damage. This can impair your ability to breathe properly and lead to chronic lung diseases.

4.Cardiovascular Risks

E-cigarettes aren't safe for your heart either. They can increase your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and even heart attacks.

5.Chemical Exposure

Vaping exposes you to harmful chemicals, some of which are known to cause cancer. Acrolein and formaldehyde are just a few examples.

6.Secondhand Vaping

Don't forget about the risks of secondhand vaping. Those around you can also be exposed to harmful chemicals when you vape.
