Is e-cig harmful to your health?

There is no consensus whether e-cigs are harmful or not. Claims that vaping is useful or harmful depend on whoever says it.

Is an e-cig harmful to your health?

The device itself is safe: if a device is used properly, it won’t inflame and won’t give an electric shock. What is mainly discussed is the harm of vapor, as not all people know what e-liquid consists of and understand major features of its ingredients.

Any e-liquid consists of the following elements:

• water;
• propylene glycol;
• glycerin;
• nicotine;
• flavoring agents.

Water, propylene glycol and glycerin are safe additives used in many production sectors, including space and food industries.

Nicotine is indeed a harmful substance. But it is a necessary component of e-liquids for those who gradually try to give up on tobacco addiction. Vapers can regulate the required amount of nicotine in e-liquid and reduce it step by step until a total absence.

There are nicotine free e-liquids with no nicotine at all. Actually, a person just inhales and exhales vapor with or without some tastes. Such e-liquids can be classified as safe due to a full absence of nicotine.
