According to The Journal on May 8th, a recent study by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) has highlighted the urgent need for public health policies concerning e-cigarettes.
This study indicates that many of the chemicals used to flavor e-cigarettes are harmful when inhaled after being heated. A total of 127 harmful chemicals were classified as "acute toxicity", 153 were considered "health hazards", and another 225 were classified as "irritants".
The report's author, Donal O'Shea, stated, "Before the situation worsens, we hope to understand the potential impacts of flavored e-cigarettes on the health of a large number of users. Prolonged exposure to chemicals in e-cigarettes may lead to a new wave of chronic disease sufferers emerging over the next 15 to 20 years.
Donald called for regulation of e-cigarette devices.
I believe that we need to regulate e-cigarette devices themselves, including disposable e-cigarettes and reusable e-cigarettes, as well as the temperature types they can achieve and proper disposal methods.
At the same time, Donald believes that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's announcement to ban disposable e-cigarettes from April 2025 will not be effective. He also stated that using e-cigarettes to quit smoking is "controversial" and not a method recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Increasing control over environments such as pharmacies may help people who are looking to quit smoking. Unfortunately, comprehensive bans have rarely been effective anywhere in the world.
