What's fueling the surge in e-cigarette and vaping use, especially among young people? We discuss the factors that have contributed to this phenomenon. We'll delve into the allure of enticing flavors, uncover sneaky marketing tactics used by influencers and social media platforms, and give practical tips on how you can reduce harm to yourself and help your friends who are trying to quit.
