Okay kiddo, you know how some people smoke cigarettes and it's really bad for their health? Well, electronic cigarettes are a type of smoking that some people use as a substitute for regular cigarettes.
Now, there's not a lot of research on the health effects of electronic cigarettes yet, but what we do know is that they can still be harmful to your body. When you use an electronic cigarette, you inhale a liquid that usually contains nicotine, which is the same thing that's in regular cigarettes that makes them addictive.
Nicotine can make your heart beat faster and raises your blood pressure, which puts more stress on your body. Plus, some of the other chemicals in the liquid that you inhale can also be harmful to your body over time.
While electronic cigarettes might not be as bad for you as regular cigarettes, they're still not good for you. So, it's best not to use them at all and to make sure to stay away from people who are using them, too. It's always better to keep your body healthy in other ways like eating a healthy diet and getting exercise!
