Abstract
In recent years, there has been a downward trend in smoking, including among teenagers. But with the advent of electronic cigarettes and vaping, a rebound has been noted, especially among young people ‒ instead of regular cigarettes, the number of children smoking is growing. Electronic cigarettes/vapes have almost the same negative effects as smoking. The chemicals contained in vaping liquids can provoke the development of non-infectious inflammatory pneumonitis, and in a fairly short time from the start of smoking. Vaping-associated lung damage is a clinical diagnosis, established after excluding other respiratory diseases and has serious consequences. The information presented in the article requires stopping the reincarnation of smoking, especially among children and adolescents, through the use of electronic cigarettes/vapes and solving the problem of harm to health in essence.
