We, as a society, are experiencing our first “vaping crisis.” However, there are misconceptions permeating both mainstream media and our understanding of what a “vaping crisis” actually means, plus how it came to be. Some will say that shady e-cigarette manufacturers are to blame for the rampant spread of a mysterious lung illness associated with […]
