Vaping’s hidden danger: How drug-laced e-cigarettes are putting UAE youth at risk
-
Dr. Prabhu Prasad N.C., specialist pulmonologist at RAK Hospital, has bared that many teenagers mistakenly believe they are inhaling harmless water vapour when using e-cigarettes.
“A vape does not produce simple water vapour. It produces an aerosol that may contain nicotine, flavouring chemicals, solvents, fine particles, metals from the heating coil, and toxic by-products formed during heating,” explained Prasad.
He has mentioned that nicotine exposure during adolescence can affect attention, mood regulation, impulse control, and brain development, increasing the likelihood of long-term dependence.
