Whoever fills his electronic glow stick with nicotine-based fluids harms his DNA as much as if he were smoking unfiltered Tschick.

Even e-cigarettes without nicotine cause cancer. Their effect can be compared with filtered tobacco cigarettes. They attack the DNA, the damage can then lead to malignant mutations.

How much steam?

Decisive is the amount of steam that is inhaled. According to researchers, the nicotine content of the liquid also plays a role.

The liquids contain substances such as propylene glycol, glycerine, nicotine and flavorings such as menthol or vanilla.
