Welcome to Anti - Va**ng. This page will hopefully serve to combat the misconceptions and misinformation about v**es/e-ci******es and encourage the end of their use.

In addition to the information we are providing about the health effects and societal effects on va**ng, we here at Anti - Va**ng know that the unethical advertisements by major va**ng brands like Juul have contributed to the use of e-ci******es, and that is why we have included information about their lawsuits and practices, in the hopes that if you ever want to pick up a v**e, you think about why, and remember how their actions prompted a rise in smoking among children, teens, and young adults.

We hope you learn som**hing. We hope that you rethink ni****ne use.

According to Dr. Blaha, a physician at John Hopkins Medicine, many v**es/e-ci******es have more ni****ne in them than ci******es. However, due to misconception, many take up va**ng in order to stop smoking or because they think it's not as harmful.

5 REASONS WHY NOT TO V**E

1. To Prevent Serious Lung Illness
"An ongoing outbreak of severe lung
disease is causing serious illness in
Connecticut and most of the US.
Patients are being put on ventilators to
help them breathe. The common link in
all cases is va**ng and e-cigarette use.
In some states, deaths have occurred."

2. To Prevent Harm to your Body
"E-cigarette aerosol inhaled deep into
your lungs can contain cancer-causing
chemicals, heavy metals, and ultrafine
particles that can harm not only your
lungs but the rest of your body."

3. To Prevent Brain Changes
"Ni****ne and other drugs (like THC) can
cause structural changes to your brain.
Prolonged ni****ne use results in the
need for billions of ni****ne receptors in
your brain to be continuously activated,
otherwise withdrawal symptoms occur,
such as irritability, anxiety, depressed
mood and difficulty sleeping."

4. To Keep You from Using Other Drugs
"Ni****ne and alcohol can prime your
brain to want different types of
substances which have their own set
of health risks, such as opioids,
co***ne, and m**h."

5. To Be a Good Friend
"One of the primary reasons young adults start using v**es and
e-ci******es is because their friends use them. Be a good friend
and do not share your v**es or use them around your friends."

Another fun fact: Research suggests va**ng is bad for your heart and lungs.

"Ni****ne is a toxic substance. It raises your blood pressure and spikes your adrenaline, which increases your heart rate and the likelihood of having a heart attack."

Fun Fact: Electronic ci******es aren’t the best smoking cessation tool.

"Although they’ve been promoted as an aid to help you quit smoking, e-ci******es have not received Food and Drug Administration approval as smoking cessation devices. A recent study found that most people who intended to use e-ci******es to kick the ni****ne habit ended up continuing to use traditional and e-ci******es."

What Is Va**ng?
"Va**ng is the inhaling of a v***r created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or other va**ng device."

How Does Va**ng Work?
"E-ci******es (or “v**e pens”) heat a liquid until it becomes a v***r, which is inhaled. The liquid (e-liquid or “v**e juice”) can contain ni****ne or ma*****na distillate or oil. E-ci******es can be refillable or pre-filled with cartridges containing the e-liquid. The pre-filled e-ci******es (called “Puff Bars”) are designed for one-time use. After taking a certain number of “puffs,” the user throws the device away."
