Understanding Vaping and Its Risks
Vaping is a rapidly evolving field that requires healthcare providers to ask patients specific questions about their usage. It is crucial to clarify what substances patients are vaping, as many use electronic devices for both nicotine and cannabis. Misconceptions about vaping products and their risks abound, leading to a potential lack of awareness about nicotine levels and consumption patterns.
