These resources examine the health impacts of vaping devices and heated tobacco products (HTP), particularly among young people. They detail acute and chronic lung injury, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, and constitutional symptoms, and identify vitamin E acetate as a potential trigger for vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI). Several studies indicate that HTP use does not facilitate smoking cessation but may be a factor in initiating conventional smoking and contribute to cardiovascular and respiratory disease, as well as fertility problems. In addition, research suggests that young people who vape are more likely to start smoking traditional cigarettes and to develop asthma or mental health problems.
