Beginning this year, the FDA requires e-cigs to have a warning label about how the product contains nicotine, which is addictive, according to fda.gov.
As we get older, stress fills our lives and we need a way to escape it, even if just for a little while. This is where vaping and other substances come into play. Why is it that teens are using tobacco and tobacco-type devices? Today, you have to be 18 to buy e-cigarettes, but you don’t have to be 18 to use one, according to fda.gov.
“Vapes, vaporizers, vape pens, hookah pens, electronic cigarettes and e-pipes are some of the many terms used to describe electronic nicotine delivery systems,” according to fda.gov.
A vaping pen or e-cig uses a liquid that may contain nicotine, as well as different levels of flavorings – fruit and coffee are common – along with chemicals such as propylene glycol, according to the website for the Food and Drug Administration.
