The long term side effects of vaping are still very much in the air. The technology is too new to understand how the chemicals will affect lungs over decades. Don't get me wrong, probably still "healthier" than tobacco, but we just don't know yet.
- tulio_ribeiro 4y agoI did specify a vape that has no active substance other than nicotine. So you can pretty much rule out the "chemicals".
- ceejayoz 4y agoDoes such a vape exist? One with 100% pure, nothing-else nicotine? No propylene glycol or glycerine?
- ben1040 4y agoIt's been questioned whether that estimate is low, but the frequently cited LD50 for nicotine is 0.8-1 mg/kg, so by that metric a .7 mL Juul pod of pure nicotine would be more than a lethal dose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_poisoning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine_poisoning
- yurishimo 4y agoI'll admit I'm not well versed on the subject, but I don't think the vapor is just water, correct? Otherwise the pen would need to get insanely hot to turn it into vapor so you can inhale it. I've seen some pretty tiny vape pens. Doesn't make sense.
