Vaping News

Vaping devices pose significant health risks, including respiratory problems, addiction, and potential long-term damage. Here are 10 reasons that shed light on the serious health issues associated with e-cigarettes, urging caution and awareness.

According to the World Health Organization, susceptibility to e-cigarette use among young people is a major public health concern due to the adverse health effects of nicotine. 

Vaping is when you use a small, handheld device (vape pens) to inhale a mist of nicotine and flavoring The dangers of vaping include lung and other organ damage, breathing problems, addiction Vaping and smoking both involve inhaling nicotine and other substances into your lungs

World No Tobacco Day is observed worldwide annually on May 31 The theme for this World No Tobacco Day, 2023 is 'We need food, not tobacco.' The aim of Anti-Tobacco Day is to educate the public about the health risks associated with tobacco use, including smoking and smokeless tobacco products.

Vaping while pregnant can hurt prenatal development and hinder children's and newborns’ growth In males, vape showed to have worse sperm quality, quantity, and motility It is advised for both men and women to abstain from smoking to achieve desirable reproductive results, say experts

Vaping can affect the intensity of one's COVID symptoms E-cigs and vapes is associated with inflammation in the lungs according to previous studies

Vaping might not be a healthy habit It can have long term impact

The study was led by researchers at the University of California San Francisco and was published in the journal Paediatrics. It tracked more than 23,000 participants aged 12 to 17 years old and found that parents or guardians were substantially less likely to report knowing or suspecting that their child had used tobacco if the child used only e-cigarettes, non-cigarette combustible products or smokeless tobacco, compared to smoking cigarettes or using multiple tobacco products. The researchers also found that when parents set strong household rules about not using tobacco - applying to all residents - their children were less likely to start tobacco use. Just talking to kids about not smoking was far less effective.

The results of the study have shown significant lung injury from E-cigarette (eC) devices with nickel-chromium alloy heating elements. The findings were consistent, with or without the use of nicotine, vitamin E oil or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which have previously been thought to contribute to the life-threatening respiratory problem. The early results, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association by researchers from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine and the Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI), were observed during a larger study designed to explore the effect of e-cigarette and other vaping product use on the cardiovascular system. | While conducting experiments, researchers observed eC or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) immediately after switching from a vaping device with a stainless steel heating element, to one that used nickel-chromium alloy (NC).

The e-cigarettes do not use tobacco but heat the liquid chemicals into a vapour or steam that is inhaled by the smokers and experts claim that though e-cigarettes are marketed as a harmless product they are harmful to health.

The researchers collected liver samples, and looked at genes in the liver affected by e-cigarettes using a technique called RNA sequence analysis.

The study published in the European Respiratory Journal did not directly compare vaping's effect to that of smoking tobacco cigarettes.

It is the largest study to date to estimate the impact between alternative tobacco use and the subsequent start of conventional cigarette smoking in youth.

The findings from over 215,000 survey respondents provide strong support for prioritizing efforts to reduce cigarette experimentation among adolescents.

According to the recently published study, people who have been wanting to quit cigarettes can also switch to ENDS which is gradually much lesser harmful.

 The study only looked at smoking initiation related to e-cigarettes and not the possible impact of e-cigarettes on smoking cessation.

New research challenges the concept that switching to e-cigarettes is a healthier alternative.

A death is notched up as premature when a person departs before their expected age — say 75 or 80 depending on the country — and is usually preventable through a healthier lifestyle.

E-cigarettes can contain nicotine but not many of the harmful substances produced by smoking tobacco such as tar or carbon monoxide. 

About one-third of teens in the US use e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid.
