Study: 80% of Young Smokers under 25 Favor E-cigarettes
A doctor-led study from Russia's newdaynews reveals nearly 80% of young smokers under 25 favor e-cigarettes, raising health concerns.

According to a report from Russian news outlet newdaynews, a study led by doctors has found that nearly 80% of young smokers under the age of 25 are fond of e-cigarettes, including teenagers.

 

Yekaterinburg has seen cases of e-cigarette poisoning deaths linked to the use of unknown substances. These incidents have raised concerns among the public and experts about the health impact of e-cigarettes and have called into question the regulatory policies surrounding e-cigarettes.

 

According to experts, even occasional use of e-cigarettes can have serious health effects. They have assessed the quality and impact of the ingredients in e-cigarette products. The main issue is that the use of e-cigarettes can provide the body with large amounts of propylene glycol and glycerin. These chemicals can harm lung tissue, blood vessels, and the cerebral cortex, making people weak, decreasing their work capacity, and possibly leading to brain disease and oxygen deficiency.

 

According to reports, irresponsible advertising and marketing encouraging the use of e-cigarettes among teenagers has sparked anger among the public, especially parents. Experts and doctors are urging parents to be wary of the dangers of e-cigarettes, and to strengthen discipline to prevent children from being misled.

Research Brief | IMiracle, Hongfu & SYSU: Nicotine Lactate E-Liquids May Accelerate Coil Corrosion and Nickel Release
A new study in Chemical Research in Toxicology reports that e-liquids formulated with 2% nicotine lactate can corrode nickel–chromium heating coils and increase nickel (Ni) leaching into both the e-liquid and aerosol. Compared with a 2% nicotine benzoate control, nicotine lactate was associated with higher Ni levels in bench tests, greater intracellular Ni accumulation and cytotoxicity in three human cell lines, and elevated Ni deposition in mouse tissues after sub-chronic inhalation.
