Attachment E6: AI/AN Cigarette and E-Cigarette Facts

Cigarettes

Addiction:

  • People who start smoking as teens are more likely to get addicted to nicotine and become lifelong smokers.

  • Teens' brains are still developing, which can make it easier for them to get addicted to nicotine.

Health Effects:

  • Smoking can harm nearly every part of your body.

  • From cigarettes, cigarillos, and little cigars, to chew, dip and hookah, there’s no such thing as safe tobacco.

  • All tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigarillos, little cigars, chew, dip and hookah, can lead to nicotine addiction.

  • All tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigarillos, little cigars, chew, dip, and hookah, contain toxic, cancer-causing chemicals that can cause serious health problems.

  • Teens who smoke may develop smaller, weaker lungs that never grow to their potential size and never perform at maximum capacity.

HPHCs:

  • Acrolein is a chemical found in cigarette smoke and it can cause irreversible lung damage.

  • Ammonia is a chemical found in household cleaning products and cigarette smoke.

E-cigarettes

HPHCs:

  • Vapes can deliver toxic metal particles, like nickel, lead, and chromium into your lungs

  • Vapes contain toxic chemicals, even when they do not contain nicotine.

  • Teens who use vape may be exposed to toxic chemicals such as:

    • acrylonitrile

    • acrolein

    • propylene oxide

    • acrylamide

    • crotonaldehyde

  • Vaping can expose you to similar amounts of nicotine as traditional cigarettes.

  • Vapes produce more than just water vapor.

  • Some of the chemicals found in cigarette smoke like formaldehyde and acrolein are also found in some e-cigarette aerosols. Inhaling these chemicals can cause irreversible lung damage.



Health Effects:

  • Vaping may be harmful to your lungs.
