City News reported on the climbing e-cigarette use among teens and quoted Dr. Elizabeth Saewyc, UBC school of nursing professor.

“People are looking at e-cigarettes and thinking it’s steam, it’s not smoke, so it must be safer and forgetting that if it’s steam with nicotine involved, you still end up with that addiction to nicotine,” she said.
