Lithium ion battery as the

Vaping? Smoking?

The subtle differences - a rather optimistic outlook?

Here's another infographic

Basically:

• Vapours provide more control over the amount of nicotine than conventional cigarettes
• No combustion (burning) happens, and therefore does not produce harmful chemicals
• No tar (焦油) to mess up your body

So it's all good then?

Vaping is a great alternative to cigarettes?

In reality, it's just a lesser evil.

Nicotine.

It is considered to be at least as hard as quitting heroin.

Tolerance + Addictiveness = Disaster!

Side effects

just going to list them 

• an increased clotting tendency, leading to a risk of harmful blood clots

• enlargement of the aorta (主動脈)

• dizziness and lightheadedness
  irregular and disturbed sleep

• pneumonia (?!)

• ...

Basically, all sorts of horrible things might happen to you if you get involved with nicotine!

Even if you can control the dose, it's still addictive!

Defective batteries lead to surprises (boom) while smoking

You don't know what's inside the liquid! Could be anything...

Our brand-new formula! Dead babies mixed with nicotine!

Here's a quick rundown:

• Nicotine is the main factor in the dangers of vaping, causing all sorts of mayhem within the body
  • Highly addictive and has a tolerance mechanism
  • Damages the circulatory （循環系統）, respiratory （呼吸系統）, gastronomical （消化系統）and nervous （神經系統）systems all at once!
• Exact contents of vape liquid unknown
• The vapes themselves are known to explode!

Or, if that wasn't quick enough

Don't vape!
