If you are concerned about the health risks related to vaping, consider not using vaping products. If you use vaping products, avoid any products from illegal or unregulated sources. Products obtained from the illegal market are not subject to any controls or oversight and may pose additional risks to your health and safety. If you use vaping products, or have used vaping products in the past, monitor yourself for symptoms of pulmonary illness (e.g., cough, shortness of breath, chest pain) and promptly seek medical attention if you have concerns about your health. Be sure to indicate to your health care professional that you currently vape, or have in the past, and what you were vaping. Do not modify vaping products or add any substances to these products that are not intended by the manufacturer. For those who have developed a dependence on nicotine, quitting can be difficult. Effective therapies are available to Canadians who smoke, including medication or approved nicotine replacement therapies such as gums, patches and lozenges.
