The current literature review is aimed to examine the effect of vaping and electronic nicotine delivery on the body. The general population, especially adolescents, may have a misconception about nicotine delivering products being safe or not harmful. However, studies have shown that electronic nicotine delivery systems or products are still detrimental to an individual’s health. This review looks at the impacts of nicotine on the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, and the brain. The history of electronic cigarettes as well as marketing towards adolescents are also discussed. The results of this literature review indicate that vaping and electronic nicotine delivery systems or products cause harm to an individual’s health although the level of harm, depending on the situation, may not be as severe as that of traditional combustible cigarettes.
