2. SMOKING
CESSATION
SMOKING CESSATION IS
THE PROCESS OF
DISCONTINUING TOBACCO
SMOKING. TOBACCO
SMOKE CONTAINS
NICOTINE, WHICH IS
ADDICTIVE AND CAN
CAUSE DEPENDENCE.
NICOTINE WITHDRAWAL
OFTEN MAKES THE
PROCESS OF QUITTING
DIFFICULT.

3. IS ELECTRONIC
CIGARETTE HARMFUL?
E-CIGARETTE USERS WHO
USE DEVICES THAT CONTAIN
NICOTINE ARE EXPOSED TO
ITS POTENTIALLY HARMFUL
EFFECTS. NICOTINE IS
ASSOCIATED WITH
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE,
POSSIBLE BIRTH DEFECTS,
AND POISONING. ... E-
CIGARETTE VAPOR
POTENTIALLY CONTAINS
HARMFUL CHEMICALS NOT
FOUND IN TOBACCO SMOKE

4. WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
E CIGARETTES AND
VAPING?
A VAPORIZER WORKS IN
MUCH THE SAME WAY AS AN
E-CIG. A RECHARGEABLE
BATTERY HEATS A SMALL
ELEMENT THAT IN TURN
VAPORIZES THE E-LIQUID IN
THE DEVICE. UNLIKE E-CIGS
THOUGH, MOST VAPORIZERS
USE A TANK TO HOLD THE E-
LIQUID RATHER THAN A
CARTRIDGE. ... BEST CHOICE:
THE HASSLE-FREE, EASY-TO-
USE LOGIC PRO IS THE
PERFECT VAPORIZER.

5. DO E CIGARETTES
REALLY HELP YOU QUIT
SMOKING?
WHILE A FEW STUDIES HAVE
FOUND THAT E-CIGARETTES
CAN HELP REDUCE SMOKING,
MOST SHOW THAT E-
CIGARETTE USE DOES NOT
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE
CIGARETTE USE, AND
SEVERAL FOUND THAT
PEOPLE WHO USE E-
CIGARETTES MAY BE LESS
LIKELY TO SUCCESSFULLY
QUIT SMOKING. THIS MAY BE
BECAUSE E-CIGARETTE USE
CAN PERPETUATE NICOTINE
ADDICTION.

6. ARE E CIGS WORSE
THAN CIGARETTES ?
A PRELIMINARY STUDY
PRESENTED AT THE 2018
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
AMERICAN CHEMICAL
SOCIETY FOUND THAT VAPING
COULD DAMAGE DNA [16]. ...
BECAUSE THEY ARE
SMOKELESS, MANY
INCORRECTLY ASSUME THAT
E-CIGARETTES ARE SAFER
FOR NON-SMOKERS AND THE
ENVIRONMENT THAN
TRADITIONAL CIGARETTES

7. IS E CIGARETTE
BETTER THAN
SMOKING?
E-CIGARETTES CLAIM TO
BYPASS MANY OF THE HEALTH
RISKS OF TOBACCO
SMOKING, AND TO OFFER A
MORE HEALTHFUL
ALTERNATIVE TO CIGARETTES
AND OTHER CONVENTIONAL
FORMS OF NICOTINE INTAKE.
SOME STUDIES HAVE FOUND
THAT USING E-CIGARETTES
CAN HELP SOME SMOKERS
QUIT.

8. CAN YOU GET LUNG
CANCER FROM
VAPING?
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
COULD LINK VAPING TO
OTHER TYPES OF CANCER.
MOST STUDIES HAVE
FOCUSED ON LUNG CANCER.
IN ONE 2017 ANIMAL STUDY ,
RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT
EXPOSURE TO E-CIGARETTE
VAPOR LED TO DNA- AND
GENE-LEVEL CHANGES THAT
COULD INCREASE THE RISK
OF LUNG CANCER

9. HOW DO YOU QUIT E
CIGS?
YOU CAN RECEIVE FREE
RESOURCES AND
ASSISTANCE TO QUIT BY
CALLING THE 1-800-QUIT-NOW
QUITLINE (1-800-784-8669) OR
BY VISITING CDC'S TIPS FROM
FORMER SMOKERS. YOU CAN
ALSO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
WHO CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH
HELP AND SUPPORT.

10. WHAT DOES VAPING
DO TO YOUR LUNGS?
VAPING AND LUNG
INFLAMMATION
A SMALL STUDY PUBLISHED IN
2016, REPORTS THAT
NICOTINE-CONTAINING
VAPING PRODUCTS TRIGGER
LUNG INFLAMMATION AND
LUNG TISSUE DAMAGE. COPD
DEVELOPMENT IS
ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
EFFECTS

11. WHAT IS POPCORN
LUNG?
"POPCORN LUNG" IS THE
NICKNAME FOR BRONCHIOLITIS
OBLITERANS. THAT'S A
CONDITION THAT DAMAGES YOUR
LUNGS' SMALLEST AIRWAYS AND
MAKES YOU COUGH AND FEEL
SHORT OF BREATH. IT'S
SOMETIMES CAUSED BY
BREATHING IN A CHEMICAL USED
TO FLAVOR MICROWAVE
POPCORN. BUT OTHER
CHEMICALS OR LUNG ILLNESSES
CAN ALSO CAUSE POPCORN
LUNG.

12. HOW CAN I CLEAN
MY LUNGS?

OR STEAM INHALATION, INVOLVES
