Abstract

In 2006, electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, made their debut on the international scene. The term Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) was introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009 to refer to the many kinds of electronic cigarettes that include nicotine. This review article will provide a full investigation of the relationship between vaping and its effects on the body. The keywords utilized for search include "smoking cessation," "smoking," "e-cigarette use in adolescents," "human health," and "e-cigarettes." Our review goes into detail on the mechanism and components that make up a vaporizer. It explains how the components cause various side effects on human health. It is illustrated that vaping has various side effects and suggested that the risk of using vape should be educated to all. e-Cigarettes should be subjected to the same marketing limitations and establish quality standards for ingredients and functioning of e-cigarette devices. Thus, by deepening our understanding of these relationships and providing the results of the analysis accompanied by concise and meaningful illustrations to aid in understanding vaping and the physiological effects of the potential harm from vaping, we pave the way for future research on the quantity of puff to determine the harm level.
