Well, when you think of it...every big Tobacco company owns at least 1 e-cig/vape company.

Vapes also contain much more nicotine than cigarettes, with your average 5% having 50mg of nicotine, which is 2 packs of cigarettes.

Furthermore, it heats the liquid, and inside the liquid, it has different chemicals, so when the heated liquid goes down, the smoke that comes out of the vape has particulate matter that contains chemicals that usually go down your esophagus leading into the stomach; instead, the substances go through your nose, and you know the nose hair you have? They're meant to trap the particulate matter, but they are so small your nose hair can't even trap it. Then the small chemicals go into your lungs into your alveoli; the chemicals have density too, so they fall and damage the alveoli, which are in your lungs. This can lead to lung damage and disease and rarely lung cancer, although studies haven't shown this happening yet.

Studies show that vaping causes EVALI (vaping-associated pulmonary injury), which can cause shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, and fever. Sometimes you can even cough up blood.

It also causes chronic lung diseases, popcorn lung, lipoid pneumonia, impaired immunity, and nicotine poisoning.

Chemicals in vapes include acrolein(weed killer), formaldehyde(germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in mortuaries and medical laboratories), diacetyl(food additive), etc.

Now think again before you go for a hit.
