Puff and Anarchy: Vape Technology and Its Consequences

The recent explosion of the e-Cigarette and vaping industries was seen as a “safe” alternative to traditional smoking. In the absence of data, claims were made as to safety of the products. As time went on, and more evidence was gathered, however, the true story was one of significant and sometimes life-threatening adverse effects. In this session, the technical aspects of vaping will be detailed with particular emphasis on the counterfeit market and the need for online instructions for vaping delivery systems to be modified. We will also examine the impact of vaping on the adolescent population from a psychiatric perspective. The focus will be on identifying the adolescent user, as well as asking key questions that need to be explored when developing a rational approach to dispelling the myths and misconceptions around vaping, including strategies to help those users interested in change.
