"They are flavoured, colourful and popular with teenagers, but new Australian research is discovering mounting evidence that vapes are also unsafe to use.

Curtin University respiratory physiologist Alexander Larcombe studied 65 common liquids used in vapes from local suppliers that are available in Australia.

Dr Larcombe said the results showed that many vapes contained carcinogenic and other harmful ingredients."
