Overview

Smoking may be at near-record lows, but vaping remains popular. Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an e-cigarette or similar device. The term is used because e-cigarettes do not produce tobacco smoke, and instead produce a vapor that consists of fine particles. So, why is vaping so popular and is it a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes?
