It\u2019s not really vapor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s coming out is more similar of a can of Pam,\u201d says Paula Collier, tobacco education coordinator for the Hamilton County Health Department, referring to the aerosol cooking spray.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, it\u2019s propylene glycol, a type of alcohol. Websites from the vaping industry downplay the effects of the compound, but Collier says they\u2019re tap dancing around the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey say it\u2019s safe for ingestion, but eating and breathing are two different things,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s actually particles that are harmful to the lungs and cause inflammation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those problems extend to those standing nearby who inhale the vapor, similar to secondhand smoke, she says.<\/p>\n<p>Because of those issues, vaping is one of the banned products when the UTC campus goes smoke-free on Jan. 1, 2019. It has always been part of the ban, which includes cigarettes, cigars and pipes; chewing tobacco is still allowed. The University of Tennessee in Knoxville implemented the same policy in August.<\/p>\n<p>Logan Garrett, editor-in-chief at the University Echo, believes about 50 percent of vapers on campus don\u2019t realize that it will be banned when the smoke-free policy goes into effect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing they think of is cigarettes, and they don\u2019t really consider their vaping devices as smoking devices,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He also notes that the most popular type of vaping device is a Juul, which fits in the palm of your hand and can quickly be stashed away. A Juul user himself, he says the device can make it difficult to identify the vaper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can just tuck it in my front pocket and walk away from a cloud of smoke,\u201d says Garrett, who recently wrote an editorial column in the Echo about the Juul and its rising popularity.<\/p>\n<p>The concentration of nicotine in Juul is more than double the concentration found in other e-cigarettes, according the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Surgeon General has declared that youth use of nicotine in any form is unsafe.<\/p>\n<p>The Health Department\u2019s Collier says there is a certain amount of risk reduction when comparing e-cigarettes to regular ones since an e-cigarette \u201cdoesn\u2019t produce carbon monoxide because it\u2019s not on fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But nicotine is still found in the liquid used by e-cigarettes, depending on the brand, she says. Nicotine is addictive, she says, and also constricts the body\u2019s blood vessels which can lead to such problems as high blood pressure and stroke.<\/p>\n<p>This year, all packaging and advertising of e-cigarettes must have the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\u2019s warning about the possible addictiveness of nicotine.<\/p>\n<p>Some liquids used in e-cigarettes are flavored, and there are questions on whether the ingredients used to make those may be dangerous, Collier says, citing cinnamon and menthol as two of the more common ones. The FDA has not issued any statements about the flavorings, pro or con.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To many, vaping is considered a safe way to \u201csmoke,\u201d providing the nicotine without the health issues of tobacco.
