Nicotine: Negative Effects on the Adolescent Brain

Although studies indicate that the use of cigarettes is declining among teens, a large number have turned to other products that deliver nicotine, such as e-cigarettes. The health dangers of tobacco use are well documented, but most people are not aware that this drug can also be dangerous to the developing mind. Nicotine use by young people can cause permanent neurological damage, which can affect their behavior for the rest of their lives. The purpose of the series SMOKING AND VAPING ADDICTION is to examine various forms of nicotine use that are commonly used by teens and young adults, presenting information about the risks and dangers of taking this drug. The books in this series include information about the physical side effects and dangers of nicotine. The effect of nicotine use on society is also discussed. This series provides young readers with a greater understanding of the dangers of nicotine, and how this drug has affected American culture and society over the past few decades.
