"Mind if I vape?" If you've heard that question, you're likely aware
that the usage of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) is on the rise in
America. We don't yet know if e-cigs are a healthier alternative to
their tobacco counterparts, but we do know that they sometimes explode
unexpectedly. This October 2014 report from the U.S. Fire
Administration discusses incidents of fires and explosions related to
e-cigs:

As
for the overall health effects of these devices, the Food and Drug
Administration is collecting public comments through July 2 to assist
them with making appropriate rules. See this site:
http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/PublicHealthFocus/ucm172906.htm. Until
e-cigs are carefully studied and regulated, if you must vape, vape with
great caution.
