E-cigarettes heat nicotine (extracted from tobacco), flavors and other chemicals to create an aerosol that is inhaled. Common tobacco cigarettes contain 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic.

Vaping involves inhaling an aerosol containing several chemicals, such as nicotine and flavorings, through an electronic cigarette or a vaporizer.
