Vaping Isn't Just Dangerous, It's Lethal

Vaping Isn't Just Dangerous, It's Lethal "Vaping" is perhaps the most notorious word in our cultural vocabulary at the moment. Few habits have taken off with such explosive force and to the point where medical professionals are deeming its rise a health crisis. But the dangers of vaping haven't seemed to deter JUUL-toting celebrities or American adolescents. Teens are using nicotine products at a rate not seen in decades, with nearly half of high schoolers having vaped in the past year. This digitized-form of cigarette smoking is touted as a "healthier" alternative to smoking. But is it safe? Not so much. There have been 39 confirmed vaping-related deaths with over 2,000 reported illnesses from vaping. Eric Bernicker, M.D., a thoracic oncologist
