In this Bearcat Wellness Minute, Suzanne Von Behren explains that vaping is often marketed as harmless but can have real health effects. Many vape products contain addictive nicotine, which can increase anxiety, affect concentration and stress levels, and lead to cravings, irritability, and trouble sleeping. Vaping can also expose users to harmful chemicals and heavy metals that may cause lung irritation and long-term health concerns. She encourages anyone considering cutting back or learning more to reach out to Wellness Services for free, confidential, judgment-free support tailored to their personal goals.
