Vaping is known as the action that involves
inhaling vapor through devices known as e-cigarettes or Vaporizers, this was
marketed as the safe alternative to traditional smoking, however, studies have
concluded that vaping is not 100% sade either as it also can lead to health
issues related to the respiratory system.
Dangers related to vaping
It is considered among teens that Vaping,
by not being the traditional smoking, it is safe and does not mean any danger,
this is wrong. Let´s start from the beginning, the reason why vaping is
considered is that its flavoring is classified as such by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, but the tricky part comes in that these agents are considered
safe when acting as an additive in food but no one is really sure if it is good
to inhale it. One of the compounds found in e-cigarettes liquid is Diacetyl,
Diacetyl is commonly found in Popcorns where it does not cause any significant
damage to our organism when we consume them, but it is known to cause a serious
lung disease called Popcorn lungs that, it is the outcome of inhaling this
chemical.
Does Vaporizers also use nicotine?
Actually, yes. Both cigarettes and
Mods or e-cigarettes contain nicotine, nicotine has proven to be damaging to our
organism as well. Nicotine affects the brain development of teens; vaping
through teenagehood can end up in teens having behavioral and cognitive
problems such as attention and memory issues. Vaping during pregnancy is also
dangerous, as nicotine has long-lasting consequences on newborns, affecting
their brain´s development and their lungs.
What other effects does vaping have?
- Heart problems: According to Healthline, studies have proven that vaping increases heart pressure and heart rate and that people who use vaporizes will likely suffer from heart diseases.
- Teeth and Gum problems: Studies reported that using e-cigarettes makes teeth prone to develop bacteria and that vaping increases the chances of cavities, and another study reported that vaping can cause severe irritation around the area including the mouth, gums, and the throat.
- cell dysfunction and damage to DNA.
Is vaping safer than smoking?
The main difference between traditional
cigarettes and e-cigarettes is that cigarettes contain tobacco, while the
majority of damaging components that are in traditional cigarettes can also be
found in e-cigarettes. It is popularly believed that vaping is safer just
because of the lack of tobacco, this is not 100% true. It is true that it has
been confirmed that after years of smoking several diseases can be developed
such as lung cancer, heart diseases, and emphysema, but vaping has been
confirmed to cause symptoms within a year of usage. This is because while
e-cigarettes are tobacco-free they contain toxic agents such as one found in
antifreeze, which is a carcinogen.
Conclusion
It is safe to assume that both smoking and
vaping are unhealthy and that both will have serious long term effects in our
bodies, and only few factors will be different as it is the time in which we
will see the symptoms.
