Cigarettes contain tobacco while e-cigarettes do not. But if you ask me if tobacco alone causes cancer, the answer is a plain NO. There are also other harmful chemicals in cigarettes that are present in e-cigarettes too. Perhaps, FDA has identified the presence of carcinogens in e-cigarettes that can affect the health.

Women have begun vaping widely with the presumption that this is safer and is tobacco-free. Though e-cigarettes do not contain the same levels of nicotine, there are considerable levels and this transition can be ideal for those who plan to quit smoking.

  • E-cigarettes have the tendencies to make your brain addictive. As you begin vaping, your mind automatically enjoys it and calls it safe. So, you happen to vape frequently and ruin your body.
  • Did you know that the liquid present in e-cigs is dangerous? While it is chemicals added in the usual cigarettes, liquids are present in e-cigs and every time you breathe or swallow or even absorb the liquid, your skin gets affected and it can be dangerous too!
