The federal government has made vaping illegal without a prescription for very good reasons. We know that vaping and nicotine can have an impact on brain development, affecting your memory, attention, learning and mood. Vaping can also make mental health issues like anxiety and depression worse. It is also highly addictive.
There are two issues for health professionals to consider
· people don’t understand vaping’s health impacts.

Why is that a problem? Because most of us don’t have effective strategies for helping people stop.
