Vaping Ingredients List

Ingredient Comments

acetoin

  • used in foods to create buttery or creamy flavour
  • associated with irreversible lung damage (NICNAS 2019)
  • can be a source of diacetyl in nicotine vaping products (Vas et al. 2019)

benzaldehyde

  • used in foods and drinks to create cherry and almond flavours
  • classified by the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals as ‘Harmful in inhaled’ – Cat. 4 (H332) (ECHA Infocard)
  • reported to possibly cause respiratory failure, depression of the central nervous system and convulsions at high concentrations (IMAP Report – Benzaldehyde)

cinnamaldehyde

  • used in foods to create a cinnamon flavour
  • capable of cytotoxicity, impaired immune cell function and sensitisation (IMAP Report – Cinnameldehyde; Muthumalage et al. 2018)

diacetyl

  • used in foods to create buttery or creamy flavour
  • linked to irreversible lung damage known as bronchiolitis obliterans, or ‘popcorn lung’ (NICNAS 2019; Allen et al. 2016; Clapp & Jaspers 2017, NIOSH 2016)
  • prohibited ingredient in consumer nicotine vaping products in Canada and the UK

diethylene glycol

  • central nervous system, renal and cardiac toxicity have been demonstrated following exposure to diethylene glycol (Fowles et al. 2017; SCCP 2008), inhalation-specific toxicity data is limited
  • cannot be used as a diluent in consumer nicotine vaping products in Canada and the UK

ethylene glycol

  • respiratory irritation observed in humans and exposure linked to renal toxicity (Fowles et al. 2017; ATSDR 2010), presence in vaping products associated with toxicological hazards (Hutzler et al. 2014)
  • cannot be used as a diluent in consumer nicotine vaping products in Canada and the UK
 

entane-2,3-dione (2,3-pentanedione or acetylpropionyl)

  • used in foods to create buttery or creamy flavour
  • structurally related replacement for diacetyl (Allen et al. 2016) and associated with respiratory impairment (decreased lung function), fibrosis of the intrapulmonary airways in rats (similar to bronchiolitis obliterans in humans) (NIOSH 2016)
  • prohibited ingredient in consumer nicotine vaping products in Canada and the UK

vitamin E acetate (dl-alpha- tocopheryl acetate)

• associated with outbreak of e-cigarette, or vaping, product use- associated lung injury (EVALI) which resulted in over 2,000 hospitalisations or deaths (Blount et al. 2020; Boudi et al. 2019).

acrolein (also known as acraldehyde)

• severe respiratory irritation (FDA 2012; SCHEER 2021)

formaldehyde

• respiratory irritation, respiratory tract carcinogenicity in rats following long term exposure. In humans, changes in lung function have been reported (FDA 2012; SCHEER 2021)

acetaldehyde (also known as ethanal)  • respiratory irritation, respiratory tract carcinogenicity in rats known as ethanal) following long term exposure (FDA 2012; SCHEER 2021)

There are substances in e-cigarette vapor that are not found in tobacco smoke. Researchers are part of the conflict, with some opposing and others supporting of e-cigarette use.The public health community is divided, even polarized, over how the use of these devices will impact the tobacco epidemic.Proponents of e-cigarettes think that these devices contain merely “water vapour” in the e-cigarette aerosols, but this view is refuted by the evidence.
