With traditional cigarettes in decline, the e-cigarette or 'vape' has rapidly filled the void.

Boasting attractive flavours and a promise of no harmful chemicals, vaping is sometimes perceived as a safe alternative to smoking. Is it?

In this episode, Doctors Anthea Rhodes and Lexi Frydenberg are joined by Doctor Moya Vandeleur, a paediatric respiratory specialist, to get the facts on vaping and e-cigarettes.

The discussion covers the health risks for developing bodies, the presence of addictive chemicals like nicotine and THC as well as other potentially toxic additives, how vaping can put young people on the path to smoking, and importantly, how to start a conversation with your child about e-cigarette use.
