The Rise of Synthetic Nicotine: What Vapers Need to Know
Synthetic nicotine has become increasingly common in vaping products, particularly in disposable vapes. Unlike tobacco-derived nicotine, synthetic nicotine is produced in laboratories and is not subject to the same regulatory framework.
Why Manufacturers Use Synthetic Nicotine
The primary reason manufacturers switched to synthetic nicotine was to bypass FDA regulations that specifically targeted tobacco-derived products. However, the FDA has since extended its authority to cover synthetic nicotine as well.
Quality Concerns
Not all synthetic nicotine is created equal. The manufacturing process can produce different isomers with varying potency and effects. Without standardized quality control, consumers may not know exactly what they are getting.
