Are E-Liquid Additives Harmful? They May Turn Into Toxic Chemical Mixtures

New research suggests vitamin E acetate in e-liquid additives may damage the lungs and transform into toxic chemical mixtures, including the highly poisonous gas ketene.
Recent studies have found that vitamin E acetate, an additive in e-cigarette liquids, can not only damage the lungs but also convert into toxic chemical mixtures. A research team from the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin stated that vitamin E acetate could potentially produce highly toxic acetylene gas.

The main authors of this study are Dan Wu and Donal O’Shea, and the related paper was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study found that heating vitamin E acetate can produce carcinogenic olefins and benzene, substances that are recognized in the medical field as having adverse effects on the human body.<\/p>

In other words, heating vitamin E acetate alone or in combination can produce many toxic and carcinogenic compounds. Although further research is needed to determine the potential pathology of these compounds in interactions with human lungs and blood, it is certain that burning and inhaling these substances poses significant harm to the body.<\/p>

Dan Wu and Donal O’Shea wrote in their paper: “The likelihood of individual components in e-cigarette liquids undergoing unexpected chemical reactions is high. As the public increasingly perceives e-cigarettes as harmless, there is a pressing need for scientific guidance.”<\/p>
