These are devices which mimic the smoking experience through vaporization of a special type of liquid. This solution is comprised of propylene glycol, nicotine and often a flavoring agent. Small amounts of it are vaporized when you draw upon it instead of burning like smoke from tobacco in a traditional cigarette. The process of “vaping,” as it is generally known by users, works through a battery heater known as an atomizer.

While nicotine is not entirely safe, these are often considered a healthier alternative to regular cigarettes. The majority of risks associated with smoking have to do with the carcinogens created by tobacco combustion and the tar that comes along with combustion. Studies have indicated that the illnesses and death associated with traditional products are from tar and not the nicotine itself.

One of the most comprehensive studies of the ENDS industry was done by the Royal College of Physicians. We highly recommend everyone take the time to review their findings. The ENDS industry has come to find that they are one of the most reliable and unbiased sources to rely on for information about vaping.
