I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of e-cigarettes. What are they and should I be concerned about them?

Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are battery powered devices that vaporize nicotine-laced liquid. They have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their perceived safety compared to traditional cigarettes, as well as their potential for helping smokers quit. However, there is still some uncertainty surrounding the long-term health effects of using these devices. In particular, it’s unclear whether vaping can lead to addiction or if it poses any other risks to your health. It's important to consult with your doctor before deciding whether or not to use an e-cigarette.
