#HEALTHCHECK: Should Vaping Be The New Cool?
Get in here young adults! This fact-check right here is for you!! If you don’t smoke and never had a problem with smoking cigarettes in the first place, don’t start the habit, irrespective of which form it is delivered in.

Data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Nigerian Medical Association and even the reality of the average Nigerian shows that there is no truth in the Minister's claim!!
