"If you asked me what’s in e-cigarettes, disposable vapes or e-liquids, my
short answer would be “we don’t fully know”.

The huge and increasing range of products and flavours on the market, changes
to ingredients when they are heated or interact with each other, and inadequate
labelling make this a complicated question to answer.

Analytical chemistry, including my own team’s research, gives some answers. But
understanding the health impacts adds another level of complexity.
E-cigarettes’ risk to health varies depending on many factors including which
device or flavours are used, and how people use them.

So vapers just don’t know what they’re inhaling and cannot be certain of the
health impacts."
