With the FDA considering stricter rules regarding the sale of e-cigarette products such as Juul, we take a look at the science of vaping with UNC School of Medicine toxicologist Ilona Jaspers, PhD, professor of pediatrics, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, and director of the UNC Toxicology Program with a joint appointment at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.
