align: justify;">ISLAMABAD, Jul 13 (APP): A recent study conducted at University College London’s Institute of Epidemiology and Healthcare has revealed that cigarette smoke is significantly more harmful than vape smoke.
align: justify;">The research indicated that vape smoke contains less nicotine compared to regular cigarette smoke.
align: justify;">Blood tests on children exposed to vape smoke showed they inhaled less than one-seventh the amount of nicotine compared to those exposed to regular cigarette smoke.
align: justify;">Researchers also noted that second-hand exposure to harmful substances from e-cigarettes is likely even lower.
align: justify;">While vaping contains similar levels of nicotine, it has significantly lower levels of the toxins and carcinogens found in tobacco smoke.
