They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

    Guess I’m gonna be ultra fucked. I’m not going back to cigarettes. And I already quit nicotine once for seven and a half years. Starting again was the biggest mistake of my life cause I don’t wanna go through that again. Oh well, it’s not like we have much chance at a future anyway.

      Dude, I hope you try to quit those too. If you’ve ever met someone who can’t breathe from COPD, it’s a tough time for them.
