Current e-cigarette smoking, adult by county, 2020-2022
Why Is This Important?
Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are battery-powered devices that give the user doses of nicotine and other additives in aerosol form. They are currently unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration and have, therefore, never undergone testing for negative short- and long-term effects. Additionally, the substance that is vaporized is not regulated and may contain harmful constituents or dangerous concentrations of certain components including volatile organic compounds, cancer causing chemicals, heavy metals, ultrafine particles and flavorings such as diacetyl, a chemical that has been linked to serious lung disease.
