Twenty-eight of our fantastic Chemistry students attended a disposable vapes workshop at the University of Huddersfield.

Our students participated in various activities and listened to lectures about the dangers of vaping and the harmful chemicals contained in these products.

As part of the workshop, students:

• – Learned how vapes work.
• – Disassembled vapes to examine their key components.
• – Explored the chemical composition of vape liquids, noting how this varies with different flavors, like using sweeteners to mask bitter tastes.
• – Analysed research comparing the amounts of toxic and dangerous chemicals across different brands, before and after use.
• – Utilised the research findings from chemists to identify the chemicals present in vapes.
• – Discovered the harmful effects of certain chemicals on human health.
