What is vaping and what does it involve?
Vaping does not contain tobacco like smoking products like beedis and cigarettes, but rather it is an electronic device, which is called a vape pen or e-cigarette. There is a liquid present inside these devices, which when heated turns into a mist containing small particles, which people inhale into their body, giving them a feeling similar to smoking. The liquid present inside vaping devices is not ordinary water, which releases steam when heated, but it contains particles of nicotine and many chemicals, which are harmful to health. According to many reports, vaping has been said to be more dangerous than cigarettes.
