Despite the fact that vapes are considered less dangerous than traditional cigarettes, they still contain toxic substances and fine metal particles that provoke inflammatory processes. Experts emphasize that regular inhalation of chemical mixtures weakens the body's immune defense, making the lungs vulnerable to severe infections.
