HEALTH AND SAFETY
Chemicals In Vape's.
E-liquid contains many different chemicals. Sticky chemicals called propylene glycol and glycerol(12,13) make up most of the e-liquid.
Long and Short term effects
Vapes are relatively new compared to cigarettes, so we are yet to see all the long-term effects vaping may have on the body (it took decades before some of the long-term effects of smoking became evident). What we know now is that vaping can damage many parts of the body, including the cardiovascular system, lungs and airways, and the brain and nervous system.
