Vaping refers to the act of inhaling vapor produced by an electronic device known as a vaporizer or e-cigarette. These devices heat a liquid, often called e-liquid or vape juice, which typically contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. The resulting vapor is inhaled into the lungs, providing a different experience compared to traditional smoking. Unlike conventional cigarettes, which burn tobacco, vaping does not involve combustion. This means that it generally produces fewer harmful byproducts. However, the long-term health effects of vaping are still being studied, and it is important to understand the potential risks associated with inhaling vaporized substances.
