Top 5 Facts You Should Know about Vaping, E-cigarettes.   

Addiction, particularly nicotine addiction, affects adults worldwide, and many are unhappy with their condition and unable to kick it. To quit and avoid harm to their bodies, many smokers have turned to e-cigarettes and vapes in recent years. The query, however, is: Is vaping and using electronic cigarettes a good way to kick addiction?

The following information is not widely known about e-cigarettes and vapes:  

1. E-Cigarettes Don’t Lead To Quitting.  

Although e-cigarettes are promoted to help quit smoking, the result is the opposite. They, instead, get more addicted to nicotine as a user gets more of it than they consume from a traditional cigarette. The user is provided with an option of getting a higher concentration cartridge with higher amounts of nicotine and vapes have an option of increasing voltage for a better hit with more volume of the addictive substance.   
Hence smokers do not quit smoking. Instead, they start using both traditional and e-cigarettes.  

It Is Not Completely Safe.

Almost all vapes contain artificial flavors which are inhaled along with nicotine. Researchers believe that these flavors contain harmful chemicals which are yet unknown to most people. Although it is established that e-cigarettes contain far fewer chemicals than traditional ones, the ones that are present directly attack the lung and have resulted in various lung injuries amongst vapors, primarily due to a culprit called vitamin E acetate which is a thickener and present in the liquid used in vapes and e-cigarettes.    

Heart and gum disease are linked to vaping.  

 E-cigarette users are 56 percent more likely than non-users to suffer a heart attack, according to a recent study. They are high in nicotine, which directly causes adrenaline to be released into the body and causes the heart rate to rise. Heart attacks and coronary heart disease may result from this. Additionally, the chemicals damage the oral tissues by preventing nutrients and blood flow to the mouth and affecting the gums.   

A Threat to the New Generation.   

 With the flashy colors used for marketing, the low per-use cost a per-use lack of smell e-cigarettes are very common amongst the younger generation as it reduces the stigma attached to smoking. This is highly concerning as these vapes instantly kickstart nicotine addiction rather than helping to quit. Nicotine addiction is now very popular amongst high school teenagers due to these smoke-producing devices which many find very cool. It is now a new trend to get the latest vape in the most eye-catching colors and along with various new flavors.    

The Easy Accessibility and Feasibility of Vaping.    

 The most popular reason to vape is the feasibility of vaping. You can sit and vape anywhere from a cinema theatre to a school canteen without anyone noticing. This makes the use of e-cigarettes more popular than ever and increases nicotine consumption making users more prone to health risks.   

Although there is no doubt that smoking is injurious to health, there is no solid evidence that vaping is not, the lack of knowledge around the risks of vaping and the chemicals used in the process makes it something that should be avoided.
