What are vapes and how do they work?
An vape is a device that allows you to inhale nicotine in a vapour rather than smoke.
Vapes do not burn tobacco and do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most damaging elements in tobacco smoke.
They work by heating a liquid (called an e-liquid) that typically contains nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, and flavourings.

Are vapes safe?
e cig icon
Vapes are not risk free but the e-liquid in vapes is significantly less harmful than cigarettes.
Tobacco smoke contains thousands of harmful chemicals which increase your risk of certain types of cancers and other smoking related diseases such as heart disease.
Switching to vaping can reduce this risk while also reducing other people's exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke.
