Nicotine: The real drawback is that vaping entails inhalation of pure nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. Nicotine is is a mild central nervous system stimulant and a stronger cardiovascular system stimulant. It constricts blood vessels, increasing the blood pressure and stimulating the heart, and raises the blood fat levels. Vaping is not without risk.
