Study warns on teen vaping

A recent study indicates that electronic cigarettes ("vapes") expose teenagers to high doses of nicotine, leading to a significant increase in cotinine levels in their urine, which have tripled between late 2024 and early 2025. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and elevated levels heighten the risk of negative effects on the developing brains of adolescents. Long-term effects are expected to emerge over the next ten years. The study warns that current circumstances necessitate regulatory authorities to set limits on nicotine levels in e-cigarettes to prevent these health risks from worsening among young people.
