The side effects of vaping

Share via text

Breathing any product into the lungs unnecessarily is not ideal. Vapes are not harmless and may cause side effects depending on how much someone vapes, whether it contains nicotine and at what dose, or what other contents are in the vape (such as CBD or THC) and what style e-liquid is chosen.
The most common side effects of vaping include:

  • coughing
  • headaches
  • dry mouth and throat
  • shortness of breath
  • mouth and throat irritation
  • nausea/dizziness

A non-smoker who uses e-cigarettes containing nicotine, may also get withdrawal symptoms if they try to quit using them, as over time their body and brain would get used to having nicotine.
There may be risks associated with vaping long-term, but these are not yet known.
