Teens often think that electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), as well as smokeless tobacco, clove cigarettes (kreteks), candy-flavored cigarettes (bidis) and water pipes (hookahs), are less harmful or addictive than are traditional cigarettes. But they all carry health risks.
E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that heat a liquid (usually but not always containing nicotine), turning it into a vapor that can be inhaled. Research suggests that e-cigarettes cause users to inhale potentially harmful chemicals. E-cigarettes can also get teens hooked on nicotine and make the use of tobacco products seem normal, which could lead to the use of cigarettes.
This is really a dreadful situation , addiction of some kind !!!! I think talking to them and telling them about long term effects as soon as possible is the only way out !
Continue to monitor and talk about it, keep going and don't give up." Try to create healthy smoke free environmental in your home. Provide help and support for quitting.

Fortunately I had no such experience. But, if we really have to handle such situations, we could think of a continuous counselling along with proper education and awareness on the ill-effects of smoking.
The family, friends, society, school, college, governmental organizations, social media all should have specific roles in this great mission.
