E-Cigarette Dangers with Dr. JJ Levenstein
Think twice before lighting up an e-cigarette. Board certified pediatrician Dr. JJ Levenstein, MD, FAAP educates us on the risks and potential hazards associated with its use and accidental ingestion. Because e-cigarettes are not regulated, it's especially alarming that children are able to purchase the product. The flavored nicotine may partially be to blame for luring young people to the habit. Dr. Levenstein emphasizes that more research is needed to determine just how effective e-cigarettes are in helping smokers quit and if they are a gateway to nicotine addiction.
