Nicotine-free e-cigarette vapor did not have this effect. [149] The health effects of passive exposure to e-cigarettes with no nicotine, as well as the extent of exposure to these products, have just begun to be studied.

E-cigarette aerosol, e-liquids, flavoring, and the metallic coil can cause oxidative stress, and the growing brain is uniquely susceptible to the detrimental effects of oxidative stress. [100] As indicated in the limited research from animal studies, there is the potential for induced changes in neurocognitive growth among children who have ...
