Vaping is not risk-free. Most vaping products contain nicotine, which can lead to addiction and may affect brain development in youth and young adults. Vaping can also irritate the lungs, increase heart rate and blood pressure, and expose users to potentially harmful chemicals. Risks of vaping - Canada.ca, Risks of vaping | ontario.ca
