Vaping is the inhaling of a vapor created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or other vaping device.
E-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices. They have cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and chemicals. The liquid is heated into a vapor, which the person inhales. That's why using e-cigarettes is called "vaping."

A study aimed to increase knowledge of the gaps and opportunities in PEI nicotine prevention and cessation programs/services for youth (aged 11-21) and increase awareness of the factors that help youth in PEI live a nicotine-free lifestyle and mitigate the toxic stress caused by nicotine addiction.
Youth & Young Adult Vaping Project
