Ever wondered if vaping is a safe alternative to smoking? Dr. Roneet Lev and Dr. William Lynch tackle this burning question in an eye-opening episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction'. Dr. Lynch, a seasoned clinical pharmacist, brings a wealth of experience from his work at Jefferson Health System and his involvement with national drug control initiatives. Together, they dive into the stark realities of vaping, especially among teens and young adults. Dr.

This stark contrast paints a grim picture of the public health implications of vaping. The conversation doesn't stop there. Dr.
Lynch sheds light on the broader risks associated with vaping, including nicotine addiction, potential fentanyl and opiate overdose, and even the danger of lithium battery explosions. The episode underscores the importance of educating the public about these hazards, aiming to prevent more young lives from being affected. If you're curious about the real impact of vaping or worried about its influence on the younger generation, this episode offers crucial insights. Dr. Lev and Dr.
