“The day that her sister was born, Bayleigh was sick –vomiting and wanting to sleep all the time—but we thought it was a virus.

E-cigarettes or electronic cigarettes are being marketed as a safe alternative to smoking, but health officials say they are not safe. Dr. Susan Walley is a pediatrician at Children's of Alabama. She's concerned about the increase in the use of e-cigarettes and vaping. "As a pediatrician there are two major issues with electronic cigarettes or vaping devices. One is that these are not safe products and the second is that they contain nicotine which is a tobacco product." She believes many youth and adults don't realize e-cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive drug that affects the brain, nervous system and heart. Watch video.
