An electronic cigarette is a small humidifier that transforms a liquid into a vapor state. And the things stored in the "water tank", namely tobacco oil, are mostly composed of propylene glycol, glycerol (i.e. glycerol), nicotine, spices, etc. After being electrified, the smoke oil turns into mist and is then inhaled into the lungs by people. This includes electronic atomization systems, rechargeable batteries and chargers, electronic regulators, and replaceable cigarette bombs, which can contain nicotine and other chemicals.
