E-cigarettes could possibly be the solution for the smokers trying to quit, says an author from the USA Today. A good thing right? However, teenagers are using these dangerous vapes. They are taking advantage of e-cigarettes with their less noticeable plumes of smoke and their ability to be easily concealed, unlike normal cigarettes.

The body's response to a large portion of the chemicals in conventional tobacco smoke causes durable irritation, which thus prompts perpetual ailments like bronchitis, emphysema, and heart disease.5 Since e-cigarettes additionally contain many the same harmful chemicals, there is no motivation to trust that they will essentially diminish the dangers for these illnesses.
