How much do you think you know about vaping? Sure, you’ve heard it’s tasty, it’s better than smoking, and you may have tried it yourself. Vaping has become more common as people puff at hookah bars, take a sniff in between classes, etc. However, there’s still a gap in knowledge about the actual health associations of vaping.  And based on the knowledge medical professionals already have, vaping is discouraged. But why do people do it anyway?

To help us fill the gap of knowledge we have on vaping, we will talk with Dr. Stephen Baldassarri, an associate professor of medicine at Yale whose research focuses on the mechanisms of addiction. We talk about marijuana vaping, mental health’s correlation with vaping, vaping economics, and so much more.
