What toxic metals are in vapes?
Harsh chemicals aren't the only thing you could be putting into your body by vaping.
Nickel
Nickel is in faucets, appliances, batteries, and jewelry. Exposure to nickel can result in an allergic reaction and can even lead to cancer.
Tin
Tin is common in some types of wire. Consuming large amounts of tin can result in stomachaches or even liver and kidney problems.
Lead
Lead is in paint, pipes, plastic, toys, and jewelry. Too much lead exposure can lead to headaches, vomiting, stomach pain, lack of appetite, constipation, slurred speech, brain damage, and seizures.
Cadmium
Cadmium is in batteries, solar panels, and pigments. Too much exposure to cadmium can lead to fatigue, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and even lung disease.
What are some of the harsh chemicals in vapes?
E-Cigarette Vapor
Is it just water vapor? Not at all.
Vaping devices do not produce water vapor - they produce a chemical-filled aerosol.
E-cigarette vapor can contain toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, acrolein, and methylglyoxal.
Chemicals in e-cigarette vapor can cause harm to your lungs, blood vessels, DNA, and other parts of your body.
