While it is true that nicotine is the substance in cigarettes that creates addictive tendencies, this substance is relatively harmless. Nicotine carries risks more similar to that of the closely related substances caffeine and taurine. These are the other two most commonly used daily stimulants and nobody ever screamed "coffee kills". Most of the risks and harms of smoking come from the 5000+ other chemicals and carcinogens found in tobacco smoke. Many of these chemicals are highly toxic, but thankfully, they are nowhere to be found in the POP disposable vape pen.
