Don't pick the strawberry vape flavour, it may be poisonous

Be careful when picking your vape liquid, some may be toxic.

When it comes to e-cigarette safety, flavourings added to the liquid nicotine burned in the devices may influence how much the fumes lead to health problems, a recent study suggests.

Researchers tested vapour released by a variety of devices filled with some popular e-cigarette flavours – tobacco, pina colada, menthol, coffee and strawberry – to compare levels of chemicals known to cause inflammation and cell damage. They also looked at how much these chemicals appeared in tobacco smoke and in smoke-free air.
