VAPING AND

Vaping contains dangerous chemicals and toxins that can damage different parts of your body.

NICOTINE-FREE = STILL HARMFUL
“Nicotine-free” vapes can still be addictive and contain other harmful chemicals.
6-METHYL NICOTINE
Some vape products advertised as “nicotine-free” or “zero nicotine” may contain a chemical called 6-methyl nicotine. It is very similar to nicotine in regular vapes but can be 3 to 10 times more addictive (SOURCE).
HIDDEN DANGERS
Vape companies are tricking you into getting hooked. They’re making new harmful chemicals, like “Metatine,” to replace nicotine, so they don’t have to list nicotine on the label. People think “nicotine-free” vapes are safer, but they might still have dangerous, addictive chemicals that can mess with your health (SOURCE).
STILL TOXIC
Even if a vape product doesn’t contain nicotine, there are still other harmful chemicals present. Most e-cigarettes contain other toxic substances like lead, nickel, diacetyl, formaldehyde and more (SOURCE).
NOT SAFE
No nicotine doesn’t mean no risk. Inhaling anything, even nicotine-free vapes, can irritate your lungs and trigger immune reactions. The flavors in vapes can also damage blood vessels and hurt your heart over time (SOURCE).
WHY QUIT?
Improve Your Mental Health
Not only does quitting break the addiction to nicotine, weed or THC and reduce health-related risks, but it can also improve mental health. Quitting vaping lowers levels of anxiety, depression and stress and improves your life. If you need mental health services talk to a trusted adult or your health care provider.
Improve Your Health
Quitting vaping can make you feel better. Clear your brain and lungs from the fog of toxic chemicals when you stop vaping. Increase blood flow and lung capacity and improve your academic and athletic performance.
Save Money
Free yourself from addiction and stop spending money on vapes. The cost of vaping adds up quickly.
