Do CBD Vapes Have Nicotine?

There are two kinds of vapes that are most popular. One is those that mainly contain nicotine along with different flavours, and another is CBD vapes. CBD and nicotine vapes are quite different, each with pros and cons. 

Well, as a rule, “No.” CBD vapes do not contain nicotine. This is for many reasons. There are regulatory issues. There are concerns that these two very different substances may not mix well. Moreover, there is no logic in mixing these two different substances.

Among these two, a vape pen with CBD oil is mainly for relaxing and enjoying its health effects. It is the best vape pen for CBD. Nicotine has no known health benefits, and people mainly vape it for fun or to quit smoking. However, nicotine is harmful just in any amount.

CBD vs. Nicotine, How Do They Compare?

Nicotine is a potent mind-altering substance, and it is addictive. Traditionally, people have smoked tobacco to enjoy nicotine. Tobacco smoking is quite an old tradition. However, only in the 20th century did science realize that it has numerous ill effects. Tobacco smoking is very harmful to health.

Therefore, in recent years, some organizations started promoting nicotine vaping as a safer alternative. Nicotine vaping is indeed much safer. Unlike tobacco smoking, it does not produce smoke or contain 100s of toxins. It is significantly less likely to cause cancer or lung disease.[1]

However, nicotine still has many health hazards. It is quite bad for cardiovascular health and may adversely affect gut, respiratory, reproductive health, and much more. Nicotine is among the leading causes of peripheral vascular disease.[2]

CBD, on the other hand, is an altogether different thing. It has numerous beneficial health effects. A couple of CBD-based medications are already approved for treating specific health conditions. Of course, CBD may also cause some adverse effects, but it is not known to have any severe health effects. That is why CBD is accepted as a Novel Food in the UK, which means it is safe for regular ingestion. [3]

Legally Sold CBD Vapes Do Not Contain Nicotine

Since CBD and nicotine are different substances, they are not mixed in a single vape. This does not mean that mixing them poses any health risk, but it does not make sense. Combining beneficial compounds like CBD with substance abuse like nicotine is not a good idea. Instead, manufacturers of CBD vapes add other beneficial compounds like terpenes.

Further, if you smoke, CBD vaping could be an even healthier way to quit smoking through nicotine free vapes. CBD is not addictive. There is mounting evidence that CBD may still help overcome nicotine addiction.

Some recent studies suggest that CBD is especially good for overcoming nicotine withdrawal symptoms. These effects are mainly due to CBD’s impact on the central nervous system. Further, it appears that CBD may even help overcome certain physical signs of nicotine addiction. It seems to reduce nicotine urge and normalize other body functions.[4]

The Bottom Line

In conclusion, it is worth understanding that vaping is one of the best ways to get rid of tobacco smoking. CBD vaping is even helpful in overcoming nicotine addiction. Nicotine and CBD are two very different substances. Health experts recommend that one should avoid nicotine in just any amount. Therefore, manufacturers never mix nicotine in CBD vapes.

CBD, on the other hand, is now accepted as a Novel Food, something good for regular and prolonged consumption. Even more, CBD-based medicines are already approved to treat certain health conditions. The list of medications containing CBD is expected to expand as hundreds of clinical studies are ongoing. Researchers are testing CBD for numerous things, from brain disorders to metabolic diseases. Additionally, CBD seems to help people overcome addiction or substance dependence.
