This is the "juvenile vaper", a trend that could prepare teenagers' brains for future dependence on traditional cigarettes.

The latest trend of teens to "have fun". It is an electronic inhalation system originally designed to simulate and replace tobacco consumption.

However, it can also be used by people who do not smoke and use it to spend time at social gatherings or parties.

The last survey of the Food and Drug Administration (CDF in his acronym in English), explained that e-cigarette vaping is more harmful to teenagers' health.

The scientific document, drawn up by the institution, details the the electronic cigarette generates a "different" dependence in teenagers because his brain is still developing and may define a subsequent dependence on tobacco or other types of substances.
