A new study finds that many e-cigarettes are loaded with germs.

Researchers at Harvard studied the contents of 75 popular vaping products.

Twenty-three percent contained bacterial toxins, and 81-percent tested positive for fungus.

The germs were present in both the e-cigarette liquid and in the cartridges.
