E-cigarettes first hit the American market in 2007, just 10 years after the demise of Joe Camel. The popularity of e-cigarettes skyrocketed in less than a decade.
Vapes and e-cigarettes came with sleek, trendy accessories and multiple flavors, quickly outpacing the sales of traditional cigarettes to become the most commonly used tobacco product amongst youth 18 and under, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health officials are concerned about misconceptions that vaping products are safer than traditional tobacco products, and a growing body of research shows the devastating health effects on developing minds and bodies.

..."Youth use of tobacco products in any form, including e-cigarettes—is unsafe. Such products contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm the developing adolescent brain. Using nicotine during adolescence might also increase risk for future addiction to other drugs."
