The 2019 CCTV 315 Party exposed the list of e-cigarettes and the products of the companies involved

According to CCTV 315 Party reports, e-cigarettes can also release harmful substances, endangering the health of smokers and passive smokers, and can also make people dependent on nicotine.

According to CCTV reports, the nicotine content labels of some e-cigarette liquids are not standardized, and some nicotine content exceeds the standard. Cigarette liquid contains formaldehyde, propylene glycol and glycerin.

Scientific experiments on e-cigarettes

Scientific experiments have proven that e-cigarettes contain many harmful ingredients and are no less harmful to the human body than cigarettes, so many European and American countries classify e-cigarettes as "tobacco products". At present, many minors have inhaled e-cigarettes for a long time and have become highly dependent on nicotine. At the same time, the gas produced by the e-cigarette liquid also poses a health threat to passive inhalers. But the scary thing is that the nicotine content of many e-cigarette liquids is not clearly marked and is not standardized, and some even seriously exceed the standard.

Actual formaldehyde content in e-cigarettes

The State Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued a special notice last year prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, but many manufacturers Selling e-cigarettes as electronic products lacks effective supervision, and the entry threshold for e-cigarettes is much lower than that of traditional tobacco. Nowadays, e-cigarettes are slowly penetrating into our daily lives, and are even promoted as fashionable by unscrupulous merchants. We must treat e-cigarettes with caution to prevent minors from smoking e-cigarettes, which may affect their physical and mental health.

The following is a real record

Moderator: In some young people’s circles, e-cigarettes have become popular through concepts such as “healthy” and “cool”. Many e-cigarettes are used Those who do not regard themselves as "smokers" prefer to be called "players". With the promotion of some sellers and "players", e-cigarettes have even been associated with labels such as "street", "trend", "subculture", and "steampunk". So are e-cigarettes really healthy? What effects does e-cigarette smoke have on the human body? Let’s take a look at the following video.

E-cigarettes are growing rapidly in popularity among young non-smokers in some countries

In my country, e-cigarettes are also rapidly entering the trend of young people

Dazzling cool.

It’s very interesting and I want to try it.

Inhale some water vapor or something like that

It should be healthy

Subtitles: Is smoking e-cigarettes really healthy?

Explanation: E-cigarettes are powered by batteries and heat a solution to deliver aerosol for users to inhale.

Same period: Nicotine is addictive, and teenagers smoke e-cigarettes. Smokers will become tobacco smokers in the future.

World Health: People who smoke e-cigarettes are twice as likely to smoke tobacco than non-vapers.

Explanation: We randomly purchased eight types of e-cigarette liquids from the market. Sent to a laboratory certified by Johns Hopkins University and the Global Tobacco Control Institute

Explanation: The experimenter diluted the smoke liquid with methanol and tested it.

On-site:

Commentary: The test found that, The nicotine concentration value of some e-liquids is not standardized. For 60 ml of e-liquid, the content is 6 mg. There is only a content value without an expression unit, which can easily mislead consumers.

It is believed that 60 ml of e-liquid contains only 6 mg of nicotine, but the actual nicotine content of this bottle of e-liquid is as high as 360 mg. Although the labeling of another part of the e-liquid is standardized, the actual measured concentration of nicotine is more than three times higher than the labeled concentration.

The nicotine concentration label is vague and inaccurate, which may cause users to overdose on nicotine.

Explanation: In addition to nicotine, e-cigarette liquid usually contains flavors, propylene glycol and glycerin. The experimenter simulated the frequency and amount of smoking of a person and collected samples.

Explanation: The test chamber is connected to two tubes. The end of one tube is connected to the e-cigarette, and the other is connected to the syringe. The air in the chamber is extracted to form a negative pressure. The smoke will enter the test chamber and be inhaled. Take samples after 100 times.

Explanation: The collected smoke sample is placed into the instrument.

Live voice: This is formaldehyde

Commentary: The detected amount of formaldehyde in the electronic cigarette produced by the four e-cigarette liquids tested ranged from 2.3 mg to 14.9 mg per 100 puffs, which is dozens of times or even more than the maximum allowable concentration of formaldehyde in the indoor air in my country of 0.08 mg/m? hundred times.

Same period: Formaldehyde hazards

Explanation: In addition, large amounts of propylene glycol and glycerin were also detected in the smoke. They are not often found in the air we breathe.

Same period:

Commentary: Vaporized propylene glycol and glycerin have a strong irritating effect on the respiratory tract. More and more studies have confirmed that e-cigarettes also release harmful substances to a certain extent. It threatens the health of smokers and passive smokers.

Moderator: In the United States and many Asian countries, e-cigarettes are classified as "tobacco products"; in Europe, Japan and other places, e-cigarettes are managed as "pharmaceutical products." In China, e-cigarettes, an emerging product, are still in an environment of rough development and lack of supervision. Most of the domestic e-cigarette companies are technology companies. Their business scope is mainly "electronic products", and the entry threshold is lower than "tobacco products" and "pharmaceutical products". In 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Tobacco Monopoly Administration issued a notice, which mentioned that domestic industry standards for e-cigarettes have not yet been promulgated, and made it clear: the sale of e-cigarettes to minors is prohibited. Tobacco once cost the whole world a heavy health price, but now "e-cigarettes" are penetrating into our lives through similar labels and paths to tobacco. Once upon a time, we failed to stop the tobacco epidemic. Now, we may be able to prevent e-cigarettes from becoming a fad. ;
