Numerous laws and government policies are forcing tobacco companies to inform consumers of the health risks that smokers should take in consideration before buying a pack of cigarettes. However, tobacco companies are not doing the same with e-cigarettes and therefore, there’s a false misconception that vaping products are harmless. Well, this is not the case at all and today we are going to shed some light on this matter.
A recent study from the “Centers for Disease Control (CDC)” is showing that there are more than two million young Americans buying and using e-cigarettes every month. This study is highlight the fact that American Youth is oblivious to the risks of using e-cigarettes.
