Do vape pens trick teens?

In this short documentary, Youth Radio explores what attracts young teens to smoking e-cigarettes, or “vaping.”  Vape pen manufacturers bill them as safe, and try to distinguish "vaping" from smoking -- the user breathes in water vapor infused with nicotine and exhales what looks like smoke --  but they are habit forming and contain nicotine, a highly addictive chemical.  Research is showing the trend could have seriously damaging long term health effects.  And the market is aiming straight for kids, with flavors like piña colada and banana creme pie.  "Ten minutes of smoking an e-cig, for a person who has never smoked a cigarette, does cause a notable increase in airway resistance in the lungs.  Whether they are safer or not, there's no reason to think they are going to be a lot less addictive."  The video includes youth testimonials and interviews with researchers as well as e-cigarette sellers.  Watch it on Youth Radio.[youtube=http://youtu.be/HnKwHWyHH4g]
