Are nicotine vapes safe?

Nothing is safer than breathing fresh air, but when considering whether or not nicotine vapes are safe, it’s important to compare them to smoking traditional cigarettes.

If you don’t currently smoke or have an addiction to nicotine, you should not use any nicotine-containing product, including nicotine vapes.

DISCLAIMER

The long-term health effects of nicotine vaping are unknown. Nicotine vapes have not been approved as smoking cessation aids in Australia. These products are considered to be ‘unapproved’ therapeutic goods and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has not evaluated them for quality, safety and effectiveness.
