Similar to inhaling tobacco smoke without the smoke, an electronic cigarette is a device that contains and emits nicotine-free vaporizers. Thus, it is mostly referred to a non-nicotine solution. Due to the fact that they are paraded as a solution to reduce the rates of smoking, e-cigs are widely marketed under several tags – vape pens or vaporizer cigarettes.
The increase in the demand for e-cigs is not unnoticed. Since they first appeared on the Chinese market, about 3.2% of grown-ups in the United States owned a brand in 2016. In fact, a whopping number of people who tried e-cigarettes were distributed among 2 million middle and high school students.
In the United States, most teenagers prefer vaping which makes it the most popular form of tobacco use within that group. Interestingly, the bulk of people who tried vaping were about 40% and none of them (aged 24 to 40) had tried smoking before vaping became a sensation. From research, vaping may truly be dangerous.
Unfortunately, a lot of vapers use vaping devices because they want to and not for the sole purpose of quitting their tobacco addiction. Subsequently, the enforcement of rules was done by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016. These rules were put in place to address the:
- Sales,
- Marketing, and
- Production of vaping products
Some facts on e-cigarettes are:
- E-cigarettes bear a striking resemblance with cigarettes except that you don’t have to burn tobacco
- People find them helpful as they can aid the reduction of smoking
- Research confirms e-cigarettes may have some negative effects on health
Risks
Even though e-cigarettes have a great tendency to tackle the problem of smoking, there is a possibility that vaping may be more handful than it’s contemporary. A few reasons are:
- Contrary to what marketing suggests, most e-cigarettes contain nicotine. Nicotine is the source of addiction to cigarettes. While it may be hazardous during pregnancy, it also triggers negative changes in the brain of an adolescent.
- E-cigarettes are potentially harmful because the content aerosol contains toxicants, flavorings, and solvents.
- Popcorn lung is a common disease that occurs from the exposure of the lungs to diacetyl – on of the compositions of e-cigarettes.
- Inhalation and swallowing of e-cigarette liquid results in fatal poisoning
- There is a slim chance that e-cigarette users will quit smoking
- Tobacco usage is common with teens who use e-cigarette products
- Prolonged usage of nicotine increases the amount of pleasure a user derives from other drugs
- Vaping actually increases the chances that teenagers will embrace conventional cigarettes in the future
- Vaping also releases carcinogenic emissions; which means it does not eliminate second-hand smoking
Recent research on how nitrosamines in e-cigarettes damage the DNA was conducted on some animals. The report showed that there was a reduction in the ability of lungs to self-repair after a few exposures. More so, the mice in the experiment ended up with a damaged heart, bladder, and lungs. This shows that e-cigarettes, similar to cigarettes, contribute to bladder cancer, lung cancer, and heart diseases.
Bro you are way off point on this article! I quit smoking 7 years ago with the help of vaping. My health has improved drastically since quitting cigarettes. This article comes off sounding like all the other fear mongering articles about vaping put out by mainstream media. Not ONE PERSON has ever gotten Popcorn Lung from nicotine vaping that is a bullshit MYTH! I always find it ironic how left leaning Democrats are all for Hemp and Marijuana legalization but at the same time relentlessly go against nicotine vaping as a harm reduction tool as an alternative to smoking combustible cigarettes? You can go to San Francisco where they hand out clean syringes as harm reduction for intravenous drug users but at the same time BAN VAPING as a harm reduction tool for smokers…It makes no sense!
Alright I have to bring this obvious point up! I consider myself a fan of Plain Jane products and plan on continuing to buy here but you guys putting out this article against vaping and it’s so called “Dangers” but at the same time you guys sell “combustible” products which are meant to be smoked which produces TAR which is a well known and PROVEN detriment to people’s health. It doesn’t matter if your hemp flower is organic or not and it could have way less harmful added chemicals than your average commercial tobacco cigarette but once heated, burned and inhaled it releases a slew of carcinogenic tar right into the lungs. That is an undisputed fact! Although none of the negatives said about vaping in this article can be proven as FACT! So imo this article is kinda hypocritical considering it’s source don’t ya think? In fact the Royal College Of Physicians in the UK estimates vaping to be 95% safer than smoking cigarettes! Is vaping 100% totally safe? Hell no you would have to be a fool to think it is but it all comes down to HARM REDUCTION! Just think what if every person in this world who smoked switched to vaping how many lives could possibly be saved? Probably a lot! Since nicotine vaping came around back in 2007 not one person has been confirmed to become seriously ill or die from the direct effects of it’s use! At least 480,000 people in the USA die prematurely yearly from the effects of cigarette smoking. Fear mongering articles like this is what keeps people from making the switch to vaping which in turns costs lives……
Thank you very much for presenting this data about nicotine vaporizers create more cigarette smokers, it’s known how to get approved but what are the next steps after getting the approval. Wonderful information, thanks a lot for sharing kind of content with us, great post!
