certainly could.
the breakdown of the liquid of it has some chemicals that are often irritating and associated with cancer in lab animals. there might not be a way around this in e-cigarettes. Another possibility for the headaches is the level of nicotine which caues headaches in many people when it is either hgiher OR lower than what they are used to.

there is a prescription nicotine cartridge system which was never as loved as e-cigs BUT it ONLY has nicotine and is an alterntive.
