Vaping Is Not Just Vapor, It Is Chemical Exposure

Vaping is often perceived as harmless vapor. But e-liquids contain a mix of chemicals that turn into aerosols, not water vapor. These aerosols may carry harmful substances such as formaldehyde, acetoin, 2,3-pentanedione, and heavy metals like nickel and lead. These chemicals come from both the liquid and the heating coils used in vaping devices. Some of these are known irritants, while others are linked to cancer and respiratory diseases. The combination creates a toxic cloud that is inhaled deep into the lungs. For users who vape multiple times a day, the exposure accumulates rapidly.
