Describe how vaping affects lung function and name a specific lung disease associated with vaping.

Vaping irritates and inflames lung tissue, impairing its ability to function properly. Bronchiolitis obliterans is a specific lung disease linked to vaping.

Explain how nicotine, delivered through vaping, impacts cardiovascular health. Be specific about the effects on blood pressure and heart rate.

Nicotine elevates blood pressure and heart rate, increasing the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. The ultrafine particles in e-cigarette aerosol can also damage blood vessels, contributing to cardiovascular disease.

How does vaping affect brain development, particularly in adolescents, and what cognitive functions are most vulnerable?

Nicotine impairs cognitive function, attention, and memory. The chemicals in e-cigarette liquids can also harm the developing brain.

Name two harmful chemicals found in e-cigarette aerosol and explain why they are a health concern.

Formaldehyde and acrolein are two harmful chemicals found in e-cigarette aerosol. They are known carcinogens, meaning they may increase the risk of certain cancers.
