Vaping is the action of inhaling vapor created by an E-Cigarette device. The devices can look like flash drives and come in many different flavors, sizes, and brands. The vape device works by heating an oily liquid until it becomes vapor. The liquid in the device, also known as vape juice, contains<br>chemicals and can contain marijuana distillate or oil. The liquid also contains some mix of flavorings, aromatic additives that could smell and taste fruity or minty, depending on the flavor of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Is Vaping bad for you?<\/strong><br>\u201cThere are still many unknowns about vaping and its long term effects, including the vape liquid contents,\u201d stated Paul Pettit, Public Health Director for Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health). \u201cAlthough vapes have been advertised as a way to quit smoking regular cigarettes, vapes still contain nicotine, the same addictive chemical in cigarettes. They also contain chemicals that have the<br>potential to damage the lungs and there are no real regulations on how much nicotine and other chemicals are added.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Vaping Associated Risks<\/strong><br>Our lungs are not built to take in chemicals and oils overtime. According to John Hopkins Medicine, the oily liquid from vape devices could have the ability to coat the lungs and cause chronic lung diseases such as lipoid pneumonia, a form of lung inflammation. A National Library of Medicine research review article discussed that nicotine can lead to brain development risks and may cause anxiety. Nicotine also<br>raises blood pressure and spikes adrenaline. Heart rate then increases, increasing the risk for heart attack. The risk of becoming a regular cigarette smoker and or developing other addictions is high. Reasons for quitting not only involve the health risks, it is also financially expensive and sports performance can dwindle as vaping may lead to lung irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tips on Quitting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pick a day on a calendar when you plan on quitting, let friends or family know.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download an app that helps you track your sober days, build new healthier<br>habits, and provides motivation\u2013 visit SmokeFree.gov <a href=\"https:\/\/smokefree.gov\/\">Home | Smokefree<\/a> for free apps to download.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get rid of all vaping devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understand what the withdrawal symptoms are such as headaches, hunger,<br>trouble sleeping and concentrating are just a few.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling the urge to vape?
