**Vaping Without Nicotine? It’s Not as Safe as You Think**

Many switch from smoking to vaping thinking it’s a healthier option—especially without nicotine. But new research shows that even nicotine-free vaping can harm blood vessels and raise the risk of heart disease.

While vaping avoids tar and many toxins in cigarettes, it still exposes users to harmful substances. Vape juice contains chemicals like **diacetyl**, **benzaldehyde**, and **heavy metals**, which can irritate the lungs and cause lasting damage.

A 2024 study found that **both nicotine and nicotine-free vapes negatively affect vascular function**, though nicotine vapes were worse. Researchers warn these effects could lead to serious long-term health problems.

Vaping is growing in popularity, especially among teens—often due to sweet flavors. Experts warn this trend may lead non-smokers to become addicted or even start smoking cigarettes later.

So, even without nicotine, vaping isn’t harmless. Think twice before starting—or continuing—the habit.
