Vaping and Hookah use among medical trainees

Medical trainees knowledge and attitudes towards electronic cigarettes and Hookah
Conclusions: Respiratory societies of all 3 countries are against vaping for smoking cessation, and e-cigarettes are banned in Brazil and India.

If not addressed, this issue may risk years of efforts against the renormalization of smoking.
