abstract="The rapid emergence of youth vaping has completely changed the landscape of adolescent substance use in Canada and has become a pressing public health issue of  our time. While nicotine remains the most common substance encountered in vaping  devices, cannabis vaping is now reported by one-third of youth who vape. Though  cannabis vaping is thought to generate fewer toxic emissions than cannabis smoking,  it has been associated with several cases of acute lung injury and often involves  high-potency forms of cannabis, exposing youth to several acute and long-term health  risks. The low perceived riskiness of cannabis as a substance and of vaping as a  mode of consumption may bring a false sense of security and be particularly  appealing for youth who may be looking for a 'healthier way' to use substances. While research is still lacking on how best to support youth who may have already  initiated cannabis vaping, concerted efforts among paediatric providers, public  health experts, schools, communities, and families are urgently needed to limit the  spread of cannabis vaping among Canadian youth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
