Abstract

The use of E-cigarette has increased among adolescents, as it is considered to be a cheaper, better, and safer alternative to traditional cigarettes, yet there is growing evidence that nicotine found in them may have adverse effects on the mental health of the users. In this review, we describe the association between vaping and suicidality among adolescents.
