As the age of technology consumes the world on almost every level, the habits of old have transformed with the rise of these technological advancements. Smoking is no different. While traditional cigarettes have not vanished, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have become increasingly popular among the younger generation. In the United States, more than 2.5 million students in middle and high school use e-cigarettes, with a quarter of them vaping daily, as reported by the FDA in 2022 (Link). In Canada, nearly 300,000 adolescents aged 12 to 17 reported vaping within the last 30 days of a survey conducted by StatCan in July 2022 with 23.8% of these vaping daily (Link).
