A recent CDC study found that 99% of the e-ci******es sold in assessed venues in the United States contained ni****ne. Some e-cigarette labels do not disclose that they contain ni****ne, and some e-ci******es marketed as containing 0% ni****ne have been found to contain ni****ne.

Ni****ne can harm the developing adolescent brain. Using ni****ne in adolescence can harm the parts of the brain that control attention, learning, mood, and impulse control. Ni****ne use during adolescence may also increase the risk for future addiction to other drugs.

What Does It Mean To Be “Nic-Sick?”

"'Nic-sick,' refers to non-specific symptoms of exposure to ni****ne, especially if it is above someone's tolerance."
"Ni****ne poisoning occurs when ni****ne begins to exhibit more dire toxic effects on an individual."

According to the American Lung Association:
The (CDC) warns that 50 to 60 milligrams of ni****ne is a deadly dose for an adult who weighs about 150 pounds. Traditionally, someone who smoked would absorb around 1 milligram of ni****ne per cigarette.
Va**ng, however, has changed the game. Juul claims that one of its pods contains as much ni****ne as a whole pack of ci******es, though this may vary because without oversight there is nothing stopping Juul or any other manufacturer from increasing ni****ne levels.
