As a method of consuming nicotine, tobacco, and other substances that’s marketed as a “healthier” alternative to smoking, there are prevailing misconceptions about how damaging electronic cigarettes — commonly referred to as “vapes” or “e-cigs” — can actually be to one’s health and well-being.

Most people are aware that smoking is bad for their health. However, potential plastic surgery candidates should understand the unique risks tobacco products may pose for their recovery.
