Electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes), also known as vape devices or
by trade names such as JUUL, are handheld devices that aerosolize
liquid commonly containing nicotine, humectants and flavorings.
Used by 1 in 5 high school students in 2020, they are the most
common tobacco product used by youth. E-cigarette use has been
associated with a variety of health issues such as nicotine
addiction, e-cigarette or vaping associated lung illness (EVALI),
seizures, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This
first-of-its-kind book begins with an introduction and background
on the historical context of tobacco products. The next chapters
provide an overview of the e-cigarette landscape and reviews the
e-cigarette devices and solutions and the evolution of these
products. This is followed by reviews of the health effects of
e-cigarettes on users and non-users and includes recommendations
for prevention and treatment of youth e-cigarette use. The last few
chapters address the public health impact of e-cigarettes with a
review of the evidence of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation. The
book closes with policy and advocacy approaches and a resource
page. E-cigarette and vape device use pose a public health crisis.
This book contains succinct practical information and is a key
reference for pediatricians as well as clinicians of all
specialities. It also serves as a resource for health
professionals, including tobacco dependence treatment providers and
public health experts.
