The facts about vaping

Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes, often called ‘vapes’, are electronic devices designed to produce an aerosol that is inhaled into the lungs. There are many different styles of vapes available and they can be difficult to spot. 

The main ingredient in vapes is propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine or glycerol, and they often also contain nicotine, flavours and other chemicals. Vapes may contain harmful chemicals that aren’t listed on the pack. 

The biggest misunderstanding about vapes is that they are harmless compared to cigarettes. This is not true. Vapes are not safe.
