Vapes may look simple on the outside, but what’s inside can seriously harm your body.

Many devices contain ultrafine metals like nickel, tin, chromium, and lead, which can enter your lungs and bloodstream.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can irritate your airways and increase long‑term health risks.

Ni****ne can affect your heart, lungs, and brain. Flavoring chemicals like diacetyl are linked to serious lung disease.

And cancer‑causing chemicals like formaldehyde can form when v**e liquids are heated.

The safest way to avoid these harmful chemicals? Don’t v**e at all. Your lungs, your health, and your future are worth protecting.

Los v**es pueden parecer simples por fuera, pero lo que hay dentro puede dañar seriamente su cuerpo.

Muchos dispositivos contienen metales ultrafinos como níquel, estaño, cromo y plomo, que pueden entrar en sus pulmones y en el torrente sanguíneo.

Los compuestos orgánicos volátiles pueden irritar tus vías respiratorias y aumentar los riesgos de salud a largo plazo.

La nicotina, el ingrediente adictivo, puede afectar su corazón, pulmones y cerebro en desarrollo. Algunos químicos de sabor, como el diacetilo, están relacionados con enfermedades pulmonares graves.

Y sustancias causantes de cáncer como el formaldehído pueden formarse cuando se calientan los líquidos para v**ear.

¿La forma más segura de evitar estos químicos dañinos? No v**ear nunca. Sus pulmones, su salud y su futuro valen la pena protegerlos.

Protect our coast. Think before you toss.
Disposable v**es contain:
-Lithium batteries
-Toxic chemicals
-Plastic components
-Ni****ne

When improperly thrown out, these materials can contaminate soil and water and contribute to plastic and electronic waste in our environment.

In coastal communities like ours, litter and waste can eventually impact beaches, wildlife, waterways, and ocean health.

Every v**e thrown away has an environmental impact.

The best way to prevent v**e waste?
Choose not to v**e.

Protege nuestra costa. Piensa antes de tirar.
Los va*********es desechables contienen:

-Baterías de litio
-Químicos tóxicos
-Componentes de plástico
-Nicotina

Cuando se desechan de manera incorrecta, estos materiales pueden contaminar el suelo y el agua y contribuir a la basura plástica y electrónica en nuestro medio ambiente.

En comunidades costeras como la nuestra, la basura y los desechos eventualmente pueden afectar las playas, la vida silvestre, los cuerpos de agua y la salud del océano.

Cada v**e que se tira tiene un impacto ambiental.

¿La mejor manera de prevenir los desechos de v**eadores?
Elige no v**ear.
