Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two compounds that are derived from the plant Cannabis sativa, are among the most popular additives to vape juices today.

Even worse, manufacturers did not openly advertise the variety of toxic chemicals that are used in most vape juices, such as formaldehyde. As a preservative, formaldehyde may help keep the fluid from spoiling. However, it has been shown to cause cancer in humans. Vaping is a widespread practice today—even people who don’t vape have probably seen someone walking in public with an e-cigarette or vaporizer over the past few days. Thus, many people may think that the danger of e-cigarettes has been exaggerated. Unfortunately, this is not the case. If anything, the risks of vaping have been downplayed by manufacturers and users. A recent surge in emergency room visits due to vaping-related illnesses has shown that the danger is a real concern.
