Vapes, vaporizers, vape pens, hookah pens, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes or e-cigs), e-cigars, and e-pipes are some of the many tobacco product terms used to describe electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Vapes contain chemicals that can cause a negative impact on the users’ health.

These products use an internal battery to heat e-juice into an aerosol to be inhaled by users.

E-juice used in vapes contains thousands of toxic chemicals, many of which are known to cause cancer. Common chemicals found in e-juice include formaldehyde, propylene glycol, diacetyl, acrolein, and nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical found in tobacco products. Nicotine is not safe for teens, young people, or pregnant and/or breastfeeding women.

E-cigarettes/vapes have not been approved by the FDA as a cessation method for anyone interested in quitting tobacco.
