What are the dangers of vaping?
With the development of science and technology, electronic products have become increasingly popular. As a new type of electronic product, vape has attracted more and more people to use it with its unique taste and appearance. However, vape is not as perfect as people think, and it still has many harmful hidden dangers.
1. The pollution problem of vape
Although the smoke generated during vape use does not contain harmful substances such as tar in traditional cigarettes, the e-liquid in it will produce aerosols after being heated, which is a mixture of tiny particles and chemical substances that is harmful to indoors. Air quality causes pollution. Long-term inhalation of this aerosol will increase the risk of respiratory diseases.
2. Vaping may cause minors to become smokers
Vape has a variety of tastes and stylish designs, which can easily attract the attention of minors. However, the bodies of minors are still in the developmental stage, and the harm of harmful substances such as nicotine is more serious for them. What's more, once minors start using vapes, they are likely to further try traditional cigarettes and become actual smokers.
3. The harm of vape to the body
1). Excessive nicotine: The nicotine content in e-liquid is not low. Usually, the nicotine content of a vape is much higher than that of cigarettes. Long-term and large-scale use of vapes may lead to nicotine overdose and symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and accelerated heartbeat. Nicotine is also an addictive substance, and long-term use of vape will make it more difficult to quit smoking.
2). Harm to the digestive system: Although the ingredients of e-liquid are all of food grade, in actual use, vape is not friendly to people with digestive system diseases. It will aggravate the symptoms of the digestive system, so It is recommended that people with digestive system problems should not use vapes.
3). Harm to the cardiovascular system: Although there are relatively few harmful substances in vape, long-term use can still cause damage to the cardiovascular system. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and increases the burden on the heart. At the same time, the tiny particles in the aerosol may also block blood vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
4). Harm to the respiratory system: Vape aerosols contain a variety of chemicals, including some known carcinogens. Long-term vape use increases the risk of respiratory diseases such as lung cancer.
4. Other potential hazards
In addition to the hazards mentioned above, vaping may also have some other potential hazards. For example, a vape device's battery can explode or leak, causing harm to the user. In addition, due to the relatively loose supervision of the vape industry, some unscrupulous merchants may add illegal or excessive substances to vape, further increasing its harm.
To sum up, vape is not a harmless substitute. The harm hidden behind it cannot be ignored. It is not recommended for non-smokers to buy and use it. In order to protect the health of ourselves and our families, we should stay away from vaping and choose a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, the government and relevant departments should also strengthen the supervision and management of the vape industry to reduce its negative impact on society and the environment.
