Before Christmas break, we showed you the truth about the dangers of vaping and electronic cigarettes. The unregulated industry has picked up steam in recent years and millions have begun to use the products. These products contain unsafe ingredients such as the addictive stimulant nicotine and many more chemicals. Until recently, we haven’t known much about the possible side effects of these various chemicals. However, the Harvard School of Public Health did a study on vaping and other E-cigarette products and the results may surprise you.

The study from Harvard concluded that 3 out of every 4 e-juice bottles contain the harmful chemical diacetyl.
This artificial flavoring has been in the news before. Back in 2000, diacetyl was the probable cause of a rare lung disease developed by eight workers at a microwave popcorn factory.
