The Health Risks of Vaping

Tar from cigarettes can damage tooth enamel and cause decay, while smoke damages nerve endings in the nose, leading to loss of smell.

Nicotine in cigarettes reaches the brain in about 10 seconds, triggering the release of dopamine and other neurotransmitters, which makes smoking highly addictive.

Quitting smoking can lead to almost immediate and long-lasting physical benefits, such as heart rate and blood pressure returning to normal within 20 minutes and improved lung health within about one month.
