According to the Spanish media outlet Ultima Hora, e-cigarettes are becoming a trend, with many people using them to quit smoking. However, experts are extremely concerned about this phenomenon and warn that e-cigarettes pose significant health risks.
Public health and preventive medicine expert Joan Carles March provided a comprehensive explanation of these important risks. Firstly, there is the issue of addiction. He pointed out that...
E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance. Addiction can occur without the need to use e-cigarettes every day.
He further stated that people who use e-cigarettes are more likely to start smoking conventional cigarettes and are also more prone to develop other addictive behaviors in the future.
The experts at March also emphasized that,
There is evidence to suggest that using e-cigarettes can lead to erectile dysfunction in men.
In regards to issues of anxiety and depression, he stated,
Nicotine can exacerbate anxiety and depression, as well as impair memory, attention, and self-control, especially among young people in the developmental stage of their brains.
Therefore, e-cigarettes pose a particular danger to young people.
E-cigarettes may also lead to sleep problems, exposure to carcinogenic chemicals that could trigger various types of cancer. In addition, they may also cause chronic bronchitis and lung damage, which could be life-threatening.
Marchi pointed out that the health issues caused by e-cigarettes do not immediately manifest, but rather take time to appear.
A young person who starts using e-cigarettes at the age of 15 may develop lung cancer by the age of 30. The e-cigarette industry is cultivating a new generation of addicts through these more appealing products. Furthermore, there is a false sense of safety and harmlessness that is completely contrary to the facts.
He also warned that
Exposure to toxic metals in the aerosols and e-liquids of e-cigarettes has been linked to cognitive decline, behavioral disorders, respiratory complications, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer, particularly posing harm during developmental periods.
March pointed out that
E-cigarettes pose additional health risks. Unlike tobacco products, the manufacturing process of e-cigarettes is not as standardized, so the specific ingredients are not fully known, potentially posing risks. The consumption method of e-cigarettes makes it easier to penetrate the bronchial tubes, even more so than inhaling traditional cigarettes.
