Your “secondhand v**e” isn’t as harmless as you think 👀 New UC Riverside research found that v**e aerosol actually gets more toxic the longer it sits in the air. Metal particles from the coils react with flavoring chemicals, creating tiny, even more harmful byproducts.
And the smallest particles? They’re the most toxic ones that sink deepest into your lungs.

Know the facts and make your choice.

New research from UC Riverside found that secondhand v**e aerosol becomes MORE chemically reactive the longer it lingers indoors. All due to a reaction between metal particles from the v**e coil and chemicals from flavoring. The smallest particles were the most toxic, and they’re also the ones that travel deepest into your lungs.
