E-Cigarettes And Cocaine Delivery

In recent years, the use of e-cigarettes to deliver cocaine has become more widespread, and it has raised significant concerns among health professionals and law enforcement agencies alike. E-cigarettes, also known as vapes and mods, are electronic devices that vaporize a liquid substance that is then inhaled by the user. This liquid usually contains nicotine, but it can also include other substances such as THC, synthetic cathinone, and cocaine. The use of e-cigarettes to deliver cocaine is particularly dangerous because it allows the drug to enter the body and brain more quickly, making the user more susceptible to addiction and overdose.
