How can vaping affect your lungs?
An increased risk of coughing and wheezing is just the beginning.
Health Effects of Vaping on Your Lungs & Body
Lung Damage:
E-cigarette vapor can cause the buildup of scar tissue in the lungs. This is called popcorn lung. E-cigarette vapor can also increase the risk of bursting and tearing of blisters in the lungs.
Lung Disease:
Vaping has now been linked to several lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. These diseases cause breathing problems, long-lasting cough, and chest pain.
Brain Development:
Your brain is still developing until about age 25. Nicotine exposure can interfere with brain development and may cause attention, learning, and mood problems.
Heart Health:
Vaping can harm your blood vessels, which over time could lead to a heart attack.
Brain Health:
Nicotine causes changes in the brain that make you more likely to get addicted to tobacco products and other drugs. In high doses, nicotine is also a poison—children have been harmed or even died from drinking vape liquids.
