Shocking! See What This Aussie Discovered About Vaping That Will Make You Question Everything

The world of vaping has often been touted as a safer alternative to traditional smoking. Still, a recent revelation by an Australian social media personality has raised eyebrows and concerns among the vaping community. Cassie, an Aussie influencer, took to the internet to share her alarming discovery about the nicotine content in her vape, and it's a wake-up call for many.

Cassie's curiosity led her to conduct a Google search on the nicotine content in the IGET vapes she regularly used. The results were staggering. 'I googled the nicotine content in the vapes I usually consume — tell me why one IGET Bar is equal to 230 cigarettes,' she disclosed to her followers. The realisation that she was going through the equivalent of 460 cigarettes in a week left her, and undoubtedly many of her followers, in shock.


This horrifying revelation brings to light the often misunderstood world of vaping and nicotine consumption. While many people switch to vaping as a means to quit smoking, the nicotine content in vapes can vary dramatically. A typical cigarette contains about 10-12 milligrams of nicotine, with smokers inhaling roughly 1-2 milligrams per cigarette. In contrast, vapes can range from three to 50 milligrams of nicotine per millilitre of e-liquid, making it challenging to gauge just how much nicotine one is consuming.

The amount of nicotine absorbed by a user is influenced by their vaping habits, including how frequently they puff and the duration of each puff. Both smoking and vaping can lead to addiction and have detrimental health effects, but the method of delivery and the quantity consumed can differ significantly.


It's important to note that while Cassie's findings are plausible, the comparison between vapes and cigarettes is not an exact science. The federal government and health experts caution that such comparisons should be considered rough estimates rather than precise equivalents. Nicotine delivery varies depending on individual usage patterns, and different brands of vapes and cigarettes contain different levels of nicotine.

Earlier this year, another vaper's discovery went viral when he noticed the air quality inside his electric car plummeted after exhaling vape smoke. The car's control panel almost instantly indicated a drop from 'good' to 'very unhealthy' air quality. This incident sparked a conversation about the potential impact of vaping on air quality, especially when children are in the vehicle.

Dr Aadhil Aziz, Deputy Chair with the Royal Australian College of Practitioners (RACGP) Victoria, commented on the increasing prevalence of air quality sensors in vehicles post-pandemic. While these sensors can be helpful, Dr. Aziz warned against relying solely on them for accurate air quality measurements, as their precision can vary.


The stories of Cassie and the electric car driver serve as a reminder to approach vaping with caution and to be aware of the potential risks associated with nicotine consumption. It's essential for individuals to educate themselves on the products they use and to consider the long-term health implications.

At my daughters prenatal check up the midwife gave her brochures to show her husband on the affects vaping around a pregnant woman. He vapes just outside the back-door. The midwife said he needs to be I think 10 metres away from the door.
Research has shown that vaping around pregnant women can cause stillbirths.

The other one who vapes is my 39 year old son, who yesterday was vaping while sitting at my kitchen bench. My two daughters ( the pregnant one and asthmatic one) asked him to stock vaping. He has been told by hubby there is no vaping in the house.

My son said there is no proof it does this the same as there is no proof alcohol affect an unborn baby

Then my 22 year old son Jumped in and asked him what planet he was on. He went on to tell him all the statistics and ingredients. My 22 year old was mad as my eldest sons boy has autism due to his mother drinking throughout her pregnancy.

I then went out from my room to see what was happening in time to see my 39 year old wanting to fight my 22 year old. What a Saturday afternoon !!

I'm glad my 22 year old has more brains. It's not that he was scared to fight him ( he is bigger and stronger) he would have been scared of the after affects and the talking too by their dad who was at the cricket watching another son play.

The base of vapes should consist of VG=Vegetable Glycerine, mixed with PG. About 80% to 20%. Food grade. The dangerous part is the amount of nicotine. 3 to 6% is adequate. Since being declared illegal, vapes are uncontrolled. Now, the criminal element is/are in control. The quantity and quality, as well as the nicotine content, are unknown. The Australian Government should legalise and control what our young people are doing to their bodies. As well as collecting tax revenue. Sadly, by banning all vapes, they could contain anything. While other countries, like England and New Zealand, can see this, Australia can't.

Your reply to me makes no sense. Just reinforces the fact that you jump to ridiculous conclusions.

I chose to give you an angry reply, because your comment was so narrow minded, particularly your last sentence. “She should have 4 more rings in her nether region to stop her breeding.” That’s beyond harsh, it’s vulgar.
