- E-cigarettes are known by many different names – “e-cigs,” “vapes,” “juuling”, “vaporizers,” “pipes,” “mods,” “tanks,” “vape pens,” and “electronic nicotine delivery systems.”
- Some even look like regular cigarettes or pipes. Some resemble pens, USB sticks, and other items.
- E-cigarettes produce an aerosol by heating a liquid that usually contains nicotine, which is the addictive drug in regular cigarettes and other tobacco products. These products also contain flavorings and other chemicals that help make the aerosol. Users inhale his aerosol into their lungs. Bystanders can also breathe in this aerosol when the user exhales into the air.
