Most vaping/e-cigarettes products contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can be very harmful to brain development, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Recent studies have found that 99% of e-cigarettes sold in the United States (at appropriate vendors) contain nicotine, says the CDC. "Some e-cigarette labels do not disclose that they contain nicotine, and some e-cigarettes marketed as containing 0% nicotine have been found to contain nicotine."
