Mistake, that vaping is healthier. Sooner or later your health is at stake
Some advertising gimmicks attracted only addictive nicotine and citric acid, which vapes also contain. Lemonade, right? But latest surveys emphatically warn against a multitude of other harmful substances. This delight is in no way inferior to cigarettes. In some respects, it is even more dangerous. The risk of unknowingly destroying your lungs is high.
Some would certainly give anything for healthy lungs. It is good to be aware of this and protect your lungs.
Why is vaping trendy?
For some users, this is their first experience with an addictive substance. And why not? It smells good. You can't smell it on clothing, some fills are downright sweet. Some cigarette smokers have also switched, because vaping reminds them of smoking and nicotine is enough for them. They felt its effect, so... the switch to vaping was quite easy. Did they win? Definitely not!
There are even fillings with zero nicotine content, so it's just about the effect and savoring the taste of sweet fillings. Habit. Snacking.
Will you smoke more?
Don't you believe it? It's so sweet and fragrant. Definitely, after such an experience, you'll reach for it more times than for a cigarette.
Moreover:
- Nicotine addiction develops, thanks to the great taste of vapes it happens even faster
- Vaping is mostly done by young people and adolescents, the consequences on their health are worse
But older people can't avoid the risk either... This is a question from a unhappy wife from an article published last August by the Australian news.com.au
My husband came back from a bachelor party with a vape and now he's addicted, but he won't admit it. He says that I should be glad he's not smoking cigarettes.
He even sucks it in bed. My bedding is starting to smell like a banana milkshake. I don't care what he says - I still think that vaping is not good. I've heard about popcorn lung and I'm afraid he's gonna become a statistic.
This woman's fears are definitely not unfounded. Just as she mentions the seeming "innocence" - the scent of a banana cocktail. What could be harmful about that, right?
Popcorn lung and other consequences
But some e-cigarettes contain so-called diacetyl, which appears to be responsible for the onset of the so-called "popcorn lung". It starts as shortness of breath and coughing, as these substances scar and narrow the airways. Fatigue and persistent cough are added.
Further research shows that when e-cigarette filling is heated, additional harmful substances, formaldehydes, benzenes, but also heavy metals are produced.
Consequences are of course also associated with vascular diseases, research shows that vaping can cause tachycardia or increased blood pressure. There is also a connection with stress. Nicotine reduces anxiety, but also causes it. In addition, these people have an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis or COPD.
The result? Maybe it's even worse, because we don't know much
They are not a healthier alternative to cigarettes, they may be even worse... and many health risks are currently and far from explored. The lungs are a very sensitive organ, which we absolutely need for life.
When the lungs don't work as they should, most people, even those who smoke electronic cigarettes, will actually put them aside. The good news is that if your lungs are damaged by smoking, the damage can partially reverse if you quit this bad habit.
Some, however, are not so lucky. Lung disease can turn life upside down even for those who have never been in contact with such a sin.
Don't destroy your lungs, you never know...
