Uni:Health - looking at possible risks of Vaping
New figures show that youth vaping has plateaued while adult vaping is at an all-time high.

https://ash.org.uk/media-centre/news/press-releases/new-figures-show-youth-vaping-has-plateaued-while-adult-vaping-is-at-an-all-time-high For those looking to quit vaping, various resources and support systems are available. The NHS offers support through its website and local services, providing guidance on nicotine replacement therapies, behavioural support, and other strategies to help individuals stop vaping and smoking altogether. Engaging in these programs can be crucial for breaking nicotine addiction and ensuring long-term health.

Toxic chemicals found in vapes include carcinogens—substances known to cause cancer. Harmful compounds like formaldehyde and acrolein can lead to serious lung issues and diseases. Vapes also contain diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze, which poses a severe risk to lung health. Additionally, heavy metals like lead and nickel, combined with highly addictive nicotine, further elevate the health risks, making vaping a dangerous alternative to smoking.
