## Resource

Chinese vape companies are dodging regulations by swapping nicotine for a sneaky new chemical called six-methyl nicotine—unregulated, unknown, and potentially more addictive. Wrapped in familiar flavors and flashy packaging, these vapes fool teens and regulators alike, while a Duke study hints it might be stronger than nicotine. With ties to illicit development and growing health concerns, experts warn: education and swift action are critical to protect kids before this dangerous trend spirals out of control.
