What is a vaping device?
Vaping devices are battery-powered devices that convert liquid, typically containing nicotine (either naturally derived or synthetic) and other chemicals, into an aerosol that users inhale. They are also known as vapes, vape pens, e-cigarettes, or e-cigs, and often resemble traditional cigarettes or everyday items like pens. Although there is wide variability in design and appearance, vaping devices generally operate in a similar manner and are made of similar components. Vapes typically contain nicotine, an addictive chemical found in cigarettes and other tobacco products. Nicotine is acutely toxic and has strict regulations for its management and disposal.
