The Side Effects of Vaping
Those who don’t smoke should not start vaping. Most vapes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive.
Some users report side effects of vaping such as
- coughing, dry mouth and throat
- mouth and throat irritation
- shortness of breath
- feeling sick
There may also be long-term effects of vaping that we’re not yet aware of.
E-liquid is specially designed for vapes that heat it to a certain temperature, creating the vapour. If mixed with another substance that doesn’t vaporise at that temperature, that liquid could be directly inhaled into the lungs.
TOP TIP: Only vape with designated e-liquids, and never put any other substance in your device.
Students from The Beacon College in Hereford highlight their concerns about the effects of vaping on Young People in a video they created.
