The Scope and Risks of Vaping: Why More Action is Needed

The use of electronic vaporizing devices (“vaping”) has skyrocketed in popularity since their widespread introduction across the United States.

While significant research gaps remain, a growing number of evidence-based practices are available to behavioral health practitioners.
