Vapes, which were initially presented as a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes, turned out to be not so harmless.
As it turns out, the mixtures can cause irreversible health consequences – cancer and even sudden death.
In an interview with NEWS.ru, the head of the Russian public movement “Healthy Fatherland” Ekaterina Leshchinskaya spoke about the danger vapes pose to human health.
The expert called smoking mixtures dangerous for adults and carcinogenic for children.
They can cause loss of consciousness and even sudden death.
We can only talk about the safety of vapes if they are used once.
But the expert calls the effect of an electronic cigarette unpredictable, especially for a child’s body.
There are known cases where teenagers have lost consciousness after one drag.
And if timely medical assistance is not provided, smoking can result in death.
The expert then noted the composition of smoking mixtures and pointed out glycerin, which creates a film inside the lungs, making breathing difficult.
Nicotine, carcinogens and other additives cause mutation of lung tissue, inflammation, and ultimately this can lead to cancer.
At the same time, vaping, just like smoking, is addictive, and often the only way to quit vaping is to switch to traditional tobacco.
