SMOKING / VAPES
How about E cigarettes and are they
safe to do? If you have moved from
smoking cigarettes to vaping then smart
move. But you could still be addicted to
the nicotine in your e-cigarettes. The
research around long term vaping is still
sketchy but what we do know is there is
always a risk when anything is inhaled into
our lungs.
