Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
E-cigarettes produce a vapor that emulates conventional smoking by heating a liquid (which often contains nicotine) and producing an aerosol for inhalation. Research has not consistently shown that e-cigarettes are a healthier alternative or decrease the risk for transitioning to conventional smoking, and they may still contain harmful chemicals.
