Electronic Cigarettes: Harmful to Lungs, Expert Clarifies Misconceptions
Dr. Karl clarifies misconception about e-cigarettes and lung health, warns against their use like hitting your thumb with a hammer.

Dr. Karl clarified a common misconception regarding the harmful effects of electronic cigarettes on the lungs.


The Australian Bureau of Statistics has found that over one-fifth of young Australians have at least tried using an electronic cigarette or vaping device.


Experts are concerned that these products may create a new generation of nicotine addicts and increase health issues such as lung disease and cancer.


Laurel stated that her son believes that vaping is "better for the body" than smoking, but Dr. Carl disagrees with this reasoning.


It's not as bad as smoking, but it's still harmful to you, like hitting your thumb with a hammer instead of hitting your head, which is worse," he told the 4BC Breakfast team.


They are all very harmful, it is best not to do this.
