What's Actually in a Vape?

Here is what tobacco companies don't want you to know.

Nicotine

2-3 more than a cigarette

Pod-based vapes use nicotine salts that absorb faster and hit harder - designed to be used more often and be harder to put down.

Heavy metals

Lead, nickel, and chromium

These leach from heating coils and are inhaled directly into the lungs with every use.

Flavors and additives

Designed for dependency

Sweet and fruity flavors are formulated to appeal to younger users and increase how often you reach for the vape. It's a business strategy.

Carcinogens

A cloud of cancer-causing chemicals

Vaping produces ultrafine particles and chemicals that penetrate deep into lung tissue - including formaldehyde, which can cause lung damage.
