Guest: Jon O. Ebbert, M.D.
According to the CDC, in 2020 nearly 20% of high school students reported using a vaping product, and nearly a quarter of them indicated they used the product daily. It’s now known that vaping has potential health risks and is just as addictive as combustible tobacco products with some vaping cartridges having a higher concentration of nicotine than cigarettes. In this podcast, we’ll discuss nicotine dependence with an update on vaping. My guest is Jon O. Ebbert, M.D., an internist and nicotine dependence specialist at the Mayo Clinic. I’ll be asking Dr. Ebbert about the health risks of vaping, including second-hand exposure, the likelihood of “vapers” to switch to traditional tobacco products and whether vaping has any potential to help individuals discontinue use of tobacco products.
