Let's talk about the difference between cigarettes and vape, the nicotine difference between e-liquid and cigarettes

Many people who use vapes for the first time or those who want to try vapes are often very concerned about the issue of nicotine, and always want to compare and convert the nicotine difference between e-liquid and cigarettes. In fact, as a newcomer, it is understandable to want to know how many cigarettes the e-liquid you smoke is equivalent to smoking, and it is also a manifestation of being responsible for your own health. ?

Once you get started, you will know that this analogy does not have any practical meaning, because although the biggest commonality between vapes and cigarettes is that they contain nicotine, the biggest difference is that in addition to nicotine, e-liquid does not contain There are more than 2,000 toxic and harmful substances in cigarettes, and the most harmful and carcinogenic substances in cigarettes are not nicotine, but tar and carbon monoxide, so this conversion comparison is meaningless.

However, the impact of nicotine on the human body cannot be ignored. Even if there are no other harmful ingredients, it cannot be an excuse for nicotine abuse. You must choose the concentration of e-liquid reasonably according to your actual situation. This article will talk to you about nicotine-related knowledge.

Nicotine, commonly known as nicotine, is an alkaloid present in Solanaceae plants (Solanum genus) and is also an important component of tobacco. Nicotine can be addictive or dependent (one of the most difficult addictions to break), people often have difficulty restraining themselves, repeated use of nicotine also increases heart rate and blood pressure and reduces appetite. Large doses of nicotine can cause vomiting and nausea, and in severe cases, people can die. Tobacco often contains nicotine, which keeps many smokers from quitting.

When nicotine enters the body, it will be transmitted through the blood and can pass through the blood-brain barrier. It only takes an average of 7 seconds to reach the brain after inhalation. Nicotine enters the body more efficiently. The liver is the organ that primarily metabolizes nicotine. Nicotine can increase the amount of neurotransmitters, increase the amount of dopamine in the brain, produce a sense of well-being and relaxation, and may eventually lead to addiction due to smoking.

Nicotine, which has been closely related to "death" and "cancer" for nearly a hundred years, has received a lot of new attention, and many experts have justified its name—they believe that nicotine in cigarettes does not cause much harm, but is really carcinogenic The killers are tar and carbon monoxide.

The smoke produced by burning cigarettes contains at least 2,000 harmful components, which have various biological effects, including:

1. Inflammatory stimulation to the respiratory mucosa: such as aldehydes and olefins.

2. Toxic to cells: such as nitriles, heavy metals.

3. Addictive effects: such as nicotine and other alkaloids.

4. Carcinogenic to the human body: such as benzopyrene and cadmium of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

5. It has a cancer-promoting effect on the human body: such as phenolic compounds.

6. Make red blood cells lose their ability to carry oxygen: such as carbon monoxide.

The science popularization of knowledge about tobacco and nicotine is still very lacking, so that most people think that nicotine is the most harmful in cigarettes, while ignoring the two real "health killers" of "tar" and "carbon monoxide".

But you can’t abuse vape because of this. After all, excessive inhalation of nicotine can also cause poisoning, so please exercise restraint. It means that the nicotine intake is excessive. At this time, stop using vape, ventilate, breathe fresh air, and drink plenty of water. If the symptoms are severe, you need to seek medical attention in time.

Another point to note is that the e-liquid must be kept properly. If it is accidentally eaten by infants or pets, it will cause very serious consequences.

Vape is a brand-new product that is fundamentally different from cigarettes. It was originally invented for "quit smoking", but today it has already jumped out of the category of "quit smoking" and formed a new vape culture. Although the product still carries the function of "replacing cigarettes", it has changed from a simple "replacement product" - electronic cigarettes to a unique new field of fashion and health - Vape. I hope everyone can correctly understand nicotine and e-cigarettes.
