Vaping - The not so safe alternative?

Vaping - The not so safe alternative?

Vaping has skyrocketed in popularity over the last decade, especially among teenagers and young adults. However, the serious health risks linked to vaping are coming to light. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Vaping injuries can be deadly. E-cigarette use has been connected to lung illnesses, seizures, heart problems and respiratory failure, especially when THC or Vitamin E acetate oils are involved.
  • Flavoured vapes are particularly dangerous. Chemical flavourings like diacetyl cause permanent lung damage when inhaled. Diacetyl first received attention when workers at microwave popcorn factories developed "popcorn lung" from inhaling it. Studies show kid-friendly flavours get more teens addicted.
  • Vapes contain toxic chemicals. Ingredients like formaldehyde, benzene and nickel nanoparticles can damage lungs even after just a few puffs. A 2018 study found e-cig vapor contains some of the same carcinogens as tobacco, along with toxic metal nanoparticles.
  • Vaping is not a safe alternative to smoking. A 2016 study found vaping impacts heart rate, arterial stiffness and blood vessel function much like traditional cigarettes.
  • Nicotine in vapes is highly addictive. It rewires the teen brain quickly leading to withdrawal, mood changes, concentration issues and increased desire to try other drugs when attempting to quit.
  • Vaping can lower immunity and increase infections. E-cigarette emissions harm cells in ways that enable bacterial or viral infections to better take hold according to recent research.

The bottom line is vaping, especially flavoured varieties, should not be considered safe or healthy for regular use. Talk to your doctor about quitting vaping to protect your lungs and overall health.

The sooner you quit, the more fully your body may heal from any vaping-related damage.

Most of the time you become nicotine dependant, hence why using nicotine gum and patches instead to help reduce vape need and eventually quit all together.

It may not be easy, but it's 100% worth doing for your health.

Since the first day it came out and became big I realized that this isn't good for you. Which is more harmful is hard to say but you're sucking in a huge amount of smoke, full of chemicals, which obviously is dangerous. And it's too easy for kids to use it without realizing the risks. I think we'll see a lot of problems coming up in the future due to vaping. When I was a smoker and switched over to vapes for a while, I noticed I was sucking on those things a lot more than cigarettes. Glad to be off either. Poison. None of it should be legal. ??

It's the kids that I'm more worried about. Making it easily accessible especially with disposables should be stopped. As a former smoker, I would say vaping helped me quit smoking & now I'm off of vaping too. But banning it would only increase the number of smokers around the world. Big Tobacco are already losing a lot of money. And they'll do anything to loby against a safer alternative.
