The vape industry has gotten a bad wrap over the years. Vaping is definitely safer than smoking. The average cigarette has more than 5000 chemicals. However, vaping is not without its fair share of dangers. Vape tanks and box mods contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance that has been proven to increase heart rate. It is also much easier to 'overdose' on vaping than cigarettes, so users end up getting more nicotine in a single shot on average.
