Abstract: E-cigarettes, once touted as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes for adult smokers, have rapidly gained popularity among a younger demographic - children and adolescents. The allure of sleek designs, enticing flavors, and perceived social acceptance has made these electronic devices like a snake in the grass, silently creeping into the hands of youth across the globe. However, this burgeoning trend comes with a host of concerning implications, from the potential health risks associated with vaping at a young age to the insidious marketing tactics employed to target this vulnerable population.
