In a recent case study, the dangers of using e-cigarettes have been highlighted.
En noticias recientes, una mujer en el Reino Unido fue llevada de urgencia al hospital con neumonía de emergencia causada por el uso excesivo de cigarrillos electrónicos.

In recent times, as reported by The Mirror, there has been a growing recognition that the effects of e-cigarettes are just as harmful as those of regular cigarettes. A recent case in the UK highlights this concern, where a woman developed severe pneumonia as a result of excessive use of e-cigarettes.


Jodie Hudson, a 26-year-old, has been using e-cigarettes for the past two years. Recently, she was rushed to the hospital due to difficulty breathing at home, and was diagnosed with pneumonia believed to be caused by her frequent use of e-cigarettes. Surprisingly, Jodie had always believed that e-cigarettes wouldn't pose serious health risks like traditional cigarettes.


Hudson mentioned that she began smoking at around 18 years old because it appeared to be a healthier alternative and didn't have all the harmful tobacco ingredients. She liked the experience of smoking it. However, she soon realized that she had developed an addiction. Initially, she would buy disposable e-cigarettes two to three times per week, but eventually, she started buying them daily. She always had an e-cigarette in hand.


When her illness first became more severe, Hudson suddenly felt sick and had trouble breathing. Because she couldn't walk, she was promptly taken to the hospital. Breathing became so difficult for her that she couldn't do anything else or talk.


Según la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad Johns Hopkins en Maryland, la inhalación prolongada de líquidos electrónicos en cigarrillos electrónicos puede provocar inflamación de los pulmones, lo que podría desencadenar síntomas como tos crónica, dificultad para respirar, toser sangre o flema.


She also warned against considering e-cigarettes as a means to quit smoking. In the meantime, the World Health Organization has urged all nations to ban smoking and the usage of e-cigarettes within educational institutions.
