Are e-ci******es and other va**ng products dangerous?

There are many different types of e-ci******es in use (also known as Electronic Ni****ne Delivery Systems (ENDS), with varying amounts of ni****ne and harmful emissions.

ENDS emissions typically contain ni****ne and other toxic substances that are harmful to both users and those exposed to the vapours secondhand. Some devices that claim to be ni****ne-free have been found to contain ni****ne.

There is no doubt that that they are harmful to health and are not safe, but it is too early to provide a clear answer on the long-term impact of using them or being exposed to them.

ENDS are particularly risky when used by adolescents. Ni****ne is highly addictive and young people’s brains develop up to their mid-twenties. Exposure to ni****ne can have long-lasting, damaging effects.

Young people who use ENDS are also more likely to use conventional ci******es, ci**rs or hookahs.

ENDS increase the risk of heart disease and lung disorders. For pregnant women, ENDS pose significant risks as they can damage the growing fetus.

ENDS also expose non-smokers and bystanders to ni****ne and other harmful chemicals.

The liquid in ENDS can burn skin and rapidly cause ni****ne poisoning if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. There is a risk of the devices leaking, or of children swallowing the liquid, and ENDS have been known to cause serious injuries through fires and explosions.
