About Vape Products

E-cigarettes (also called e-cigs, Vape Products electronic hookah pens, and tank systems) use electrical power from a battery to heat a liquid solution that produces aerosol, which is inhaled by the user. The chemicals used in e-cigarettes and their byproducts may include nicotine, flavorings, and solvents. The FDA has designated most of these ingredients as “generally recognized as safe” when consumed as food, but little is known about their safety or health effects when inhaled into the lungs.

Disposable e-cigarettes (often called disposable electronic cigarettes or e-cigs) are small, compact devices that usually look like a cigarette but can also resemble USB flash drives, pens, or colorful toy-like items. They are designed to be ready for use right out of the box and can be discarded when they run out of e-liquid or are no longer charged.

More advanced vaporizers offer precise controls and features, including temperature, humidity, and even a color LED screen. They use pressure and temperature sensors to detect when the user has inhaled enough, delivering a consistent dose of vapor each time and using haptic feedback — shaking the device — to let you know that you’ve had your full share.

The recent outbreak of vaping-related lung illnesses supports caution with these products. A variety of policies are being explored at federal, state, and local levels, including deterring youth use, appropriate taxation, and clean air regulations. In addition, some retailers act as both manufacturers and marketers of ENDS, which creates additional regulatory challenges.
