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
