VAPE

Vaping delivers a toxic aerosol containing carcinogens like formaldehyde and heavy metals such as lead directly into the lungs, causing irreversible scarring and inflammation. Research in 2026 confirms that even short-term use can significantly increase the risk of heart failure, strokes, and chronic respiratory diseases like asthma or COPD. Furthermore, the high nicotine content is extremely addictive and can permanently impair brain development in young people, affecting focus, mood, and impulse control.
