What Vaping Really Sends Into Your Lungs

That cloud disappears in seconds but what it carries can remain inside your body. Vape aerosol may deliver addictive nicotine, cancer-causing chemicals, ultrafine particles, volatile organic compounds, and toxic metals such as nickel, tin, and lead deep into delicate lung tissue. Some flavoring chemicals considered safe to eat may become dangerous when repeatedly inhaled. Vaping may look cleaner than smoking, but your lungs were designed for air not a chemical aerosol whose full long-term consequences scientists are still working to understand.
