Dark side of vaping with grim side effects of anxiety, itching, toothache and confusion

Vaping has been linked to various side effects reported over the last two years, including breathing problems, tiredness, depression, and more. The UK's medicines watchdog logged 234 symptoms from 91 cases, with breathing problems being the most common. While these are self-reported and not definitively linked to vaping, the industry advises transitioning smokers may experience such effects. Vaping, considered 95% less harmful than smoking, is popular among women under 25. Relevant experts recommend consulting healthcare professionals if experiencing persistent symptoms.
