電子菸是能夠釋放出氣化尼古丁或非尼古丁讓使用者吸入的一種產品。電子菸的目的是提供使用者在沒有煙的情況下，有類似吸菸的強烈感覺。自從2004年上市以來，吸電子菸幾經是美國青少年最普遍的抽菸方式。使用電子煙的時候尼古丁的含量介於0到「極高」。
電子菸包含三個主要部分：(一) 電池：提供加熱器電力；(二) 感應器：吸氣能啟動加熱器；(三) 溶劑：又稱為「電子液體」，通常是菸草中萃取出來的尼古丁混合能產生味道的化學物質。
雖然市場上行銷上宣稱電子煙能夠幫助戒菸，只要將尼古丁含量減至最少，我們必須牢記，電子煙仍是以尼古丁為基礎的產品，只要是尼古丁就不安全。
An e-cigarette, or vaping, is a device that emits vaporized nicotine, or non-nicotine solutions, for the user to inhale. It aims to provide a similar sensation to inhaling tobacco smoke, without the smoke. “Vaping" is now the most popular form of tobacco use among teenagers in the U.S. since it first appeared in 2004. The nicotine content varies from zero to “extra-high”.
The device consists of three parts. (1) The battery powers the heating element. (2) The sensor activates the heater when the user sucks on the device. An LED may show when it is activated. (3) The solution, also known as e-liquid or e-juice, is made by extracting nicotine from tobacco and mixing it with a base for flavoring.
Although e-cigarettes have been marketed as a way to cut down on smoking by reducing the amount to the minimum, we must bear in mind that they are a nicotine-based product and no nicotine use is safe.
