Description:
As an anesthesiologist, I have seen the damage that tobacco does to the human body. Vaping offers a safer alternative, but physicians and health care professionals seem to only see the problems, not the potential. This is due to ignorance (physicians are not being educated about vaping), a lack of standardization, and unfounded medicolegal concerns. Vaping is working, but increased regulation could make vaping less attractive to smokers
