Vaping has been called the healthier alternative to smoking.

People often vape to help them quit the real thing, or as a way to get their nicotine fix without as many toxins. In fact, according to a study from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, one out of five 18-to-24-year-olds say they've tried vaporizors.

But just how safe is vaping?

The city of Chicago says not as safe as you might think and they've launched a new campaign to warn people of the dangers. Julie Morita, the Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health, talks more about the risks of vaping.
