We all know that nicotine is addictive. Raising awareness about the harm of commercial tobacco and other products containing nicotine is an initiative carried out by Alberta Health Services (AHS). Dr. Brent Friesen, with AHS, says it is wrong that tobacco companies are going after and marketing their products to children. Dr. Friesen adds that young people who use products containing nicotine find difficulty learning, concentrating and remembering things. He also says they experience more anxiety, depression or stress and increased risk of chronic lung disease and damage.
