The nicotine-free vape liquid may also contain nicotine as well as impurities not specified by the manufacturer. Marine Gambaryan, head of the Center for Tobacco Consumption Prevention and Control of the National Medical Research Center for Treatment and Preventive Medicine of the Russian Ministry of Health, informed socialbites.ca about this.
“Not all manufacturers specify the composition exactly and may contain potentially dangerous ingredients that the buyer may not know about. Or the so-called nicotine-free e-liquid may contain nicotine. Now, unfortunately, there is no technical regulation in this matter and no control over the composition of the liquids,” he warned.
Active use of such liquids can cause poisoning from nicotine and other substances.
“Also, if the evaporator is faulty, if it’s leaking then the liquid can already get into the mouth in drops. And this is very dangerous because, in fact, concentrated nicotine gets on the mucous membrane. And poisoning will come even more likely,” added Gambaryan.
