What object is about 5cm in size?
A small lime

10. Breast Cancer Stage III

19. Information about vaping
other harmful things can get into your body when you vape. That's especially true if you use flavored cigarettes.
E-cigarettes, sometimes called vapes, run on batteries and heat up nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. They turn them into a vapor you can breathe in. Many chemicals that cause cancer are in this vapor. That includes formaldehyde, heavy metals, and particles that can get stuck in the deepest parts of your lungs.
