Não se engane: Cigarro eletrônico é cigarro. não troque um vício por outro

Introduction

The use of electronic cigarettes has increased significantly over the past decades, especially among adolescents and young adults, driven by the false perception that these devices are less harmful alternatives to conventional tobacco smoking. Scientific evidence demonstrates, however, that electronic cigarettes contain nicotine at high concentrations, in addition to toxic and potentially carcinogenic substances, associated with deleterious effects on multiple organ systems, particularly pulmonary repercussions.
