“For years, I have sounded the alarm on the dangers of the youth vaping epidemic and pushed FDA to use its enforcement tools, follow the law, and regulate these e-cigarettes...

DISPOSABLE VAPE CLOUDS CONTAIN ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING CHEMICALS, SCIENTISTS FIND

"When I first saw the lead concentrations, they were so high I thought our instrument was broken," study coauthor Mark Salazar, a researcher at UC Davis, said in a statement about the work. (...)

To quickly sum up what makes these metals bad: the type of nickel the researchers detected can cause lung and nasal cancer; chromium is also considered a carcinogen; and antimony can lead to heart and lung problems when inhaled as a dust and cause vomiting when swallowed.

That brings us to lead. Two vapes from Esco Bar were absolutely reeking with it; on average, the devices from this brand emitted more lead in the first 200 puffs than smoking twenty packs of cigarettes."

Recycling #evapes does not end with batteries, I was also happy to find those tiny cables I needed to fix my jabra evolve headsets microphone, I guess the air sensors make good material to construct instruments...

Awesome idea to #DIY-collect old #vapes to organize hacking those materials <3

LMAO!

Het lijkt erop dat het smaakjesverbod op e-sigaretten effect heeft op het gebruik ervan. Zo geeft 2 op de 5 deelnemers aan het gebruik te hebben verminderd. Daarnaast is 22 procent van de deelnemers daadwerkelijk met vapen gestopt. Het zijn de eerste resultaten van ons onderzoek dat later dit jaar wordt gepubliceerd.

E-Zigarette schlagen offenbar aufs Hirn. Anders ist nicht zu erklären, dass diese in einer öffentlichen Feuerstelle verbrannt werden.

Two child flavoured vapes lying on the ground at a school playground. I thought that these were now illegal in Australia but here they are.

Frankreich macht Schluss mit Wegwerf-Vapes

Sie schmecken süß, sind bequem und vor allem günstig: Einweg-E-Zigaretten. Bis Ende 2026 sollen diese Vapes EU-weit von nachfüllbaren Exemplaren abgelöst werden. Frankreich geht den Schritt schon jetzt. Von Cai Rienäcker.

Millionen Einweg-Vapes landen täglich im Müll. Allein in Großbritannien werden jede Sekunde 13 weggeworfen. Die Steuerelektronik und der Akku landen nach kurzem Gebrauch direkt im Abfall. #Umwelt #Vapes https://winfuture.de/news,147588.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
