No, nicotine does not cause cancer. It’s the other nasty stuff in cigarettes, like arsenic and formaldehyde, that’s to blame. E-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, like chew, also contain cancer-causing chemicals. E-cigarette vapor or aerosol contains heavy metals like lead, tin, and nickel. That means vaping can increase your risk of heart disease and asthma attacks.
