What’s Really Inside Your Vape?

What looks like a sleek, harmless device hides a dangerous cocktail of chemicals and metals — many of which have proven long-term health risks.

Nicotine & Carcinogens
Most vapes contain high concentrations of nicotine — a highly addictive substance that disrupts brain development and raises blood pressure. In addition, the heating process can release carcinogens like formaldehyde and acetaldehyde.

Volatile Flavoring Chemicals
That sweet or fruity flavor? It often comes from compounds like diacetyl — linked to "popcorn lung," a condition that scars the lungs and limits breathing.

Heavy Metals
Internal components can leach toxic metals like cadmium, lead, nickel, and tin into the vapor. These metals accumulate in the lungs and bloodstream, leading to inflammation, organ stress, and long-term toxicity.

Unknown Additives
Without strict regulation, many vapes include unlisted or poorly tested chemicals — putting users at risk without their knowledge.
