• These are non-combustible products - Which means that they do not burn the contents and leaves in the e-cigs or vape mods, rather heats the solution to create an aerosol that contains the e-liquid that the user later inhales, the process is thence known as vaping(inhaling of vapors).
• They carry e-juice - Which contains nicotine, propyl glycol(with or without glycerol), and flavoring agents. Some other toxicants are also present.
• Might or might not resemble conventional cigarettes - tank systems, puff bars, or other mods might not resemble traditional cigs but the cigars, pipes,pens, and other USB drives resembling ones, do look somewhat like the aesthetic cigarettes.
• WHO (World Health Organization) published its report - on the benefits of ENDS in 2016, with an objective to control the number of smokers-and on the detriments of not glorifying them among the youth and other non-smokers.
