Tobacco is one of the main substances consumed by underage individuals in Salamanca. They can also obtain new forms of consumption through electronic devices or e-cigarettes, which come in various flavors and scents to make the products more appealing, especially to young people, according to María Elena Becerra, director of the Salamanca Youth Integration Center (CIJ).
Electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular among teenagers. The head of Sanjuana MedranoCIJ Salamanca emphasized that e-cigarettes have become a new way of using tobacco, especially among underage individuals who start experiencing the effects of nicotine at the age of 10 or 11.
Furthermore, he pointed out that excessive use of these electronic devices does not exempt consumers from serious health problems such as lung damage, and it can also affect the central nervous system. In addition, depending on their quality, these devices can explode.
Electronic cigarettes are a distinct method of tobacco use designed to create the effect of nicotine. They are nearly unregulated electronic devices, which means that for high school students, they are quite enjoyable in terms of vaporization. They even collaborate in small groups to purchase their devices," he explained.
Nicotine is a substance that affects the respiratory system and causes fatigue, coughing and phlegm. It also acts on the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of heart rate and rhythm disturbances.
In Mexico, nearly one million teenagers have attempted e-cigarettes and at least four million adults have used them at least once, despite the Ministry of Health (Ssa) not approving them as a smoking alternative. E-cigarettes are also classified as a new disease related to lung injuries by the World Health Organization (WHO).
