An electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) anaa vape be a device wey dey simulate tobacco smoking. E dey consist of an atomizer, a power source such as a battery, den a container such as a cartridge anaa tank. Instead of smoke, de user inhale vapor,[1] dem often call "vaping".[2][3]

De atomizer be a heating element wey dey vaporize a liquid solution dem call e-liquid[4] wey dey cool into an aerosol of tiny droplets, vapor den air.[5] De vapor mainly dey comprise propylene glycol den/anaa glycerin, usually plus nicotine den flavoring. Ein exact composition dey vary, den dey depend on matters such as user behavior. E-cigarettes be activated by taking a puff anaa pressing a button.[2][6] Sam dey look like traditional cigarettes,[2][7] wey chaw kinds be reusable.[8]

Vaping be less harmful dan smoking,[9] buh still get health risks.[10] Vaping dey affect asthma den chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.[11][12][13] Nicotine be highly addictive.[14] Limited evidence dey indicate say e-cigarettes be less addictive dan smoking, plus slower nicotine absorption rates.[15][16]

E-cigarettes wey dey contain nicotine be more effective dan nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation,[17] buh e no be subject to de same rigorous testing wey chaw nicotine replacement therapy products get.[18]
