The science of e-cigarette aerosols is complex, but is key to understanding the relative safety of safer nicotine products compared with combustible tobacco. To shed some light on the chemistry of vape aerosols, as well as how they compare tobacco smoke, we're joined today by research physicist Roberto Sussman!
Bulgaria has been embroiled in debate about a potential vape ban, including proposals to target disposable vapes.
