Health Risks of Vaping and Smoking: Accelerated Disease
E-cigarettes and smoking can accelerate disease in a matter of weeks, hiding harmful substances that cause serious lung damage.

Electronic cigarettes and smoking can accelerate disease within a matter of weeks, according to American scientists. They claim that electronic cigarettes contain substances that can cause serious lung damage when inhaled.


Recently, electronic cigarettes have become popular. These devices are used as inhalers and are designed to simulate tobacco without directly burning it.


Electronic cigarettes contain a liquid pod which typically includes nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. They come in various shapes and sizes, resembling cigars, pipes, pens, and even USB storage devices.


The agency stated that the Federal Committee for Health Risk Protection (Cofepris) in the United States has issued the highest health alert, declaring "health risks caused by products commonly called e-cigarettes in various ways".


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, "the presence of vitamin E acetate has been identified in more than 35 deceased samples." The CDC emphasized that almost all deaths were related to the use of electronic cigarettes. Cofepris emphasized that "lung damage related to the use of electronic cigarette products has been found, as vitamin E acetate cannot be excluded as the sole pathogen for these effects.
