E-cigarettes do not contain nicotine in a "relatively healthy" way

Not only are e-cigarettes a direct health hazard, but the variety of novel flavors of e-cigarettes can also make people less wary of unwitting interest in smoking, bringing with it the potential risks of smoking. In response, young people are urged not to try e-cigarettes out of curiosity.



Under the illusion that e-cigarettes are relatively healthy

After years of science popularization and publicity, the idea that smoking is harmful to health is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and many people try to quit smoking. Electronic tobacco products have been developed to help smokers ease their addiction.

The makers claim that the specially made bombs, which are electronically heated to produce a snortable atomised gas, provide consumers with a similar feeling to smoking, but with much less harm to health.

In recent years, various types of electronic cigarettes with fashionable shapes and small sizes have triggered a consumption trend among young people. Mr. Chen is one of those consumers. A non-smoker, he saw his friend's e-cigarette draped across his chest and bought it out of curiosity.

I have tried watermelon, mint, coffee and other flavors. My favorite is cola, which is sweet and does not look like smoking at all. Mr. Chen said he used to chew betel nuts to wake up after staying up late playing video games, but when he learned of the cancer risk, he switched to e-cigarettes, which are healthier. At parties, Mr. Chen and his friends use e-cigarettes as decorations and drape them around their necks.



E-cigarettes also contain nicotine

It's a myth that e-cigarettes are relatively healthy. Bao Min said the hospital opened a smoking cessation clinic, usually smoking cessation to consult e-cigarette related topics. In fact, smoking e-cigarettes is not only harmful to health, the various novel flavors of e-cigarettes can make users relax their guard against tobacco, thus causing a gateway effect, increasing the risk of smoking cigarettes.

E-cigarettes also contain nicotine, which can affect your health. The biggest harm of traditional cigarettes comes from the nicotine component, and the e-cigarette oil also contains nicotine, easy to addiction, adolescent exposure to nicotine may affect brain development, lead to learning disabilities and anxiety disorders; Flavored e-cigarette oil also contains food flavor and various additives, long time smoking will affect the lung health.

In addition, in the rapid heating process of electronic cigarette devices, carcinogenic substances such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and alledehyde will be produced into the environment, which will also form second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke, causing pollution to family members and the surrounding environment.

Data show that the majority of adults who use e-cigarettes to quit smoking do not stop smoking, but continue to smoke both cigarettes and e-cigarettes, with the health hazards of two or more tobacco products compounding.

E-cigarette is not a "smoking cessation device". For those who rely on e-cigarette to quit smoking, it is recommended that you go to the smoking cessation clinic for help. The doctor will make a personalized smoking cessation program, and help you quit smoking through professional drugs, psychological intervention and behavioral therapy. For non-smokers, Bao said, please put aside your curiosity and stay away from e-cigarettes.
