Vaping has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional smoking. It produces smokeless vapour by heating an e-liquid mixture in an atomizer. This paper delves into the current state of knowledge surrounding electronic cigarettes, exploring the gap between the perceived safety of e-liquids and the emerging evidence of their harmful effects when inhaled.

Despite being designed for smoking cessation, e-cigarettes and their variety of flavors have become increasingly attractive to teens and young adults. This trend has fueled concerns regarding the potential role of e-cigarettes in advancing chronic diseases, notably those affecting the cardiovascular system.

Electronic cigarette smoking (or vaping) is on the rise, presenting questions about the effects of secondhand exposure. The chemical composition of vape emissions was examined in the exhaled breath of eight human volunteers with the high chemical specificity of complementary online and offline techniques. Our study is the first to take multiple exhaled puff measurements from human participants and compare volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations between two commonly used methods, proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) and gas chromatography (GC).
