What's in Your Vape: Designed to Keep You Coming Back
Nicotine
2-3x 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. They're not on the label.
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.
Toxic ABCs
Acetone, benzene, cadmium
Acetone is a clear solvent found in nail polish remover. Benzene is found in car exhaust. Cadmium is in traditional cigarettes and can cause breathing problems.
What else?
Made overseas with little oversight
Most disposable vapes are manufactured in factories with little to no regulatory oversight. What's inside isn't always what's listed.
Aerosol: more harmful than it looks
