"The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the average daily intake of formaldehyde from all sources is estimated at 1.5-14 milligrams (mg). According to a 2017 study, the concentration of formaldehyde in nicotine vapor under realistic vaping conditions is about 3.4 micrograms (μg) per 10 puffs. Another recent study that tested newer vaping devices found levels of formaldehyde as low as 0.05 μg per puff. "
In other words, vaping exposes users to a dose of formaldehyde hundreds of times below the WHO’s estimate for total daily exposure, a dose even lower than the amount in some vaccines. For context, we have approximately 2.5 mg of formaldehyde in every liter of blood circulating through our bodies.There is zero reason to suspect that the tiny dose of formaldehyde in nicotine vapor poses any meaningful risk to human health."
