Computer-generated image of a brain with a portion in the middle highlighted green. Text on image reads, "Vaping, Nicotine, and the Developing Brain."

The use of vaping devices has reached epidemic proportions among adolescents and even preteens. Many young people are unaware that most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, a highly addictive chemical that can harm brain development. In this program, diverse adolescents describe how they became addicted to nicotine as a result of vaping. A neuroscientist and physician explain how nicotine changes the adolescent brain and can harm the parts of the brain that control attention, learning, mood, and impulse control.
