E-cigarettes have seen a surge in popularity over the past several years. Vaping is frequently touted as a good way to quit smoking and endorsed by celebrities. While famous faces may make these products more appealing. Those who are interested in trying e-cigs may want to wait until more facts are in. It begins by explaining how the devices works. A battery charged heating element turns flavored liquid into vapor and inhaled. The ingredients of the vapor usually include propylene glycol, glycerin, or a combination of the two. The liquid inside the e-cigarette may include nicotine as well as different types of flavoring.
Nicotine, in and of itself, is a dangerous drug.
Not only is it highly addictive but it can cause elevated blood pressure, an increased heart rate, shortness of breath, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and fever. The rapidity with which vaping has become popular has made it difficult for researchers to keep up. The long term effects of using them are still unknown. E-cigs are not regulated and some devices labeled as nicotine free have been found to contain it. Nicotine chambers can leak, which increases the risk of nicotine poisoning. Some vape liquids have potentially harmful ingredients. While e-cigarettes don’t contain tar, their vapor contains nanoparticles. When inhaled may lead to asthma, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease.
FDA has not approved e-cigs as a cessation device. Current studies have shown mixed results. While some individuals have been able to quit using cigarettes, others become addicted to vaping instead. And still, others continue to smoke regular cigarettes and e-cigs, which only serve to increase nicotine dependence.
More and more young people are using vapes, which may open the door to nicotine addiction. E-cigs come in dozens of flavors, from traditional tobacco to sweet flavors like chocolate and crunch berry, that is more tempting to young people. New vape users may develop a nicotine addiction, which may lead them to start using traditional tobacco products. Nicotine addiction is one of the most difficult addictions to kick.
