E-cigarettes could pose a serious health risk to young people
Research increasingly reveals health risks of e-cigarette use, and more studies are needed about the long-term impact e-cigarettes may have on the heart and lungs, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association published in the Association's flagship journal Circulation.
