Study finds some vape products have misleading labelling

Misleading vape labelling is a worry for youth vaping. 

A study in the medical journal shows more than half of vape juices have incorrectly labelled how much nicotine they contain.

Most of the mislabelled products had significantly less nicotine than advertised—some by over 50%.

Vape Free Kids Co-Founder Charyl Robinson told Ryan Bridge there's no funded support for youth quitting vaping and families are paying the price. 

She says it's hard enough on families trying to support their children, let alone with no confidence in how much nicotine is actually in the product they're using.
