An electronic cigarette, commonly known as an e-cigarette or vape, is a device powered by a battery that replicates the smoking experience by producing an aerosol, often termed "vapor," for the user to inhale. E-cigarettes are crafted as an alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. The liquid solution, commonly called e-liquid or vape juice, typically includes nicotine, flavorings, and additional additives. Upon activation of the device, the heating element transforms the e-liquid into vapor, forming a mist that users can inhale. The nicotine concentration in e-liquids varies, allowing individuals to select levels that align with their preferences or gradually decrease their nicotine consumption.
