Pre-packaged, disposable e-cigarettes are sold in stores and online. E-cigarettes are not yet regulated by the FDA, so there is no uniform labeling of contents and no way to know how much nicotine or other chemicals are actually contained in an e-cigarette. Besides nictone, e-cigarettes can contain harmful and potentially harmful ingredients, including:<\/p><ul class=\"text-left\"><li>Ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs<\/li><li>Diacetyl, a flavorant linked to serious lung disease<\/li><li>Volatile organic compounds<\/li><li>Heavy metals such as lead, nickel and tin<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"text-left\">In addition to nicotine, some young people are using vaping devices\u00a0to ingest alcohol and THC-based\u00a0products. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana that produces a high. No matter how it is delivered, nicotine is addictive and harmful for youth and young adults. Overdosing on vaporized alcohol is a real risk that can be lethal. And the possession of products containing THC constitutes a felony that can have life-long consequences.<\/p><p class=\"text-left\">Vaping, in all of its forms, is a real and growing health risk among young people, one that RISD is working hard to address.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f64bf04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f64bf04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Additional information and resources:<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5261dce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5261dce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/e-cigarettes.surgeongeneral.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit the Surgeon General&#8217;s website concerning e-cigarettes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/main>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Risks of Vaping Overview https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GRH5M-iq7ZU The term vaping refers to inhaling vapor from an electronic vaping device or e-cigarette.\u00a0These battery-powered devices come in many designs.
