Long-term exposure to e-cigarette aerosols could increase the risk of cancer and adverse reproductive outcomes
For kids, teens, and young adults, candy-like, sweet, and fruity flavors, as well as mint and menthol flavors, can mask the harsh tastes and effects of tobacco product use
E-cigarettes come in a variety of shapes and models, but most consist of a battery, a heating element and a liquid that contains nicotine, propylene glycol and flavourings
