New study shows people are inhaling a complex mixture when they vape
Vaping exposes users to about 2,000 chemicals, including potentially harmful industrial compounds, according to a study of four popular brands by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
E-liquids — a mixture of water, nicotine and other ingredients that are found in vaping products — and aerosols were studied for products sold by Juul Labs, British American Tobacco, ITG Brands and Mi-One Brands. The companies did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Regulators have yet to fully agree: the US Food and Drug Administration has authorised some products for sale under the reduced-risk logic, but the agency is still reviewing thousands of applications by e-cigarette makers to keep products on the market. To do so, companies need to prove that their products’ benefit for adult smokers outweighs the public-health threat posed by youth use.
