Topic:

Vaping—the inhalation of non-combusted aerosolized substances from e-cigarettes and other vaporizers—has increased substantially among adolescents and young adults over the last decade and has generated concern regarding the public health impact of e-cigarettes. This controversial class of products is responsible for a burgeoning body of research attempting to understand just how bad – or good? – these products are to public health. In this talk, I will present findings from a series of research endeavors on e-cigarettes and youth, highlighting what we know, and don’t know, about e-cigarettes, and discussing the future of research in this area and what we can do to protect our youth.
