Craig Needles Podcast Episode 130: The risks of vaping

Is vaping really the "safe" alternative to cigarettes?

A new study from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry says that vaping or e-cigarettes carry health risks that to this point, were unknown.

Dr. Ruud Veldhuizen joins the podcast to explain the study and look at what the future of the e-cigarette industry might be.
