E-cigarettes, also known as electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), are devices that produce an aerosol (vapor) that is inhaled. They typically contain a battery, a heating element, and a cartridge or tank that holds e-liquid. E-liquids typically contain a combination of nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals.

In the United States, e-cigarettes are considered to be tobacco products because they contain nicotine, which is derived from tobacco. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates e-cigarettes as tobacco products, and they are subject to the same laws and regulations as other tobacco products.

However, it is important to note that e-cigarettes are not the same as traditional cigarettes, and they may pose a lower risk of harm compared to smoking. While e-cigarettes are not completely risk-free, research suggests that they may be less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes, which are known to cause a variety of serious health problems, including cancer and heart disease.

It's important to be aware of the risks associated with e-cigarette use and to follow the manufacturer's instructions and any applicable laws and regulations when using these products. If you are using e-cigarettes as a tool to help you quit smoking, it is important to discuss your decision with a healthcare provider and to use proven methods, such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or prescription medications, that have been shown to be safe and effective in helping people quit smoking.
