Abstract
Recent years have shown a dramatic increase in the popularity of electronic vapor products, which include e-cigarettes, vapes, vape pens, e-cigars, e-hookahs, hookah pens, and mods. While emerging data shows that adolescents are becoming more aware of the dangers posed by these products, more than 3.6 million US youth still use e-cigarettes. As of February 18, 2020, a total of 2,807 hospitalized e-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) cases or deaths in the United States have been reported to CDC.
This project had two goals: to create a tool to help facilitate discussions between providers and their adolescent patients around vaping, and to create an infographic that would simply and clearly provide adolescents with information about the dangers of vaping as well as resources to quit.
