The use of E-Cigarettes is a growing public health challenge among adolescents. Exposure to nicotine early in life causes a number of adverse effects among the adolescent population including adversely affecting neurodevelopment, lung development, and lung function, increased risk of cardiovascular risk, altering the gut microbiota and increasing susceptibility to a number of infections. There is a serious dearth of data from low-middle-income countries which necessitates the need for epidemiological studies and strict tobacco regulation and strengthening global policies.
