E-cigarettes(electronic-cigarettes), also known as vapes, mods, vape-pens (VYPE, JUUL,

BLU, MYLE), etc. produce aerosols by heating the liquid that usually contains nicotine. They
are considered to generate fewer toxic chemicals when compared to the deadly mix of nearly
2000 chemicals in a regular cigarette. They have become very popular in no time among the
smokers almost all over the world. The E-cigarette, which was said to be a safer and economical
alternative for the cigarettes became much more addictive and lead to many harmful health
issues. Though the original propaganda by the companies was to taper the smoke consumption
and have control over the habit eventually quitting, but there was whole new scenario when
launched.
However, recent surveys have shown an increased addiction towards the smoking and
increased the mortality rate of those using E-cigarettes. The rage of E-cigarettes has also
captured the attention of young people including the high school students owing to the influence
of culture and advertisements. It is at-most necessity to formulate and review the policies and
guidelines regarding the usage.
The CDC has released images of the lung scans related to those succumbed to E-cigarette
related fatal deaths.
