It is said that e-cigarettes are more harmful than cigarettes. Is this true?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, e-cigarettes and cigarettes are harmless. Apart from spiritual comfort, the rest is a little bit of damage to health, both for yourself and others.

Rather than saying that e-cigarettes are more harmful than cigarettes, it is better to say that e-cigarettes are more confusing than cigarettes.

E-cigarettes

On May 1, 2022, the "E-cigarette Management Measures" were officially implemented, which stated that it is prohibited to sell flavored e-cigarettes other than tobacco flavors and to add atomizers by yourself. It is prohibited to sell e-cigarette products to minors, use vending machines and other self-service sales methods to sell e-cigarette products, or sell e-cigarette products in disguised form.

From the management measures issued by the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, we can intuitively see that e-cigarettes are harmful, just like cigarettes. Both have the harmful health characteristics of smoking. At the same time, their sales are prohibited. Flavored e-cigarettes and e-cigarettes that can add aerosols themselves also emphasize from the side that under the guise of e-cigarettes, they are harming smokers who think they are enjoying themselves.

In addition, as a type of tobacco, the smoke produced by the combustion of cigarettes contains a variety of known carcinogens. The smoke can cause serious damage to the human lungs and cardiovascular system and even cause cancer. The main hazards are There are nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, etc. E-cigarettes are electronic products that imitate cigarettes and have the same appearance, smoke and feel as cigarettes. It is an atomizer driven by a rechargeable lithium battery. It heats e-liquid to turn nicotine into vapor for users to smoke. It is an alternative product or an aid to smoking cessation. However, the "2021 World Health Organization Global Tobacco Epidemic Report" specifically focuses on e-cigarettes. The dangers of smoking provide a reminder: e-cigarettes are harmful, and there is insufficient evidence to prove that they can be used as a smoking cessation tool.

A loud slap in the face of many smokers or e-cigarette enthusiasts, but what’s the use? Even if the cigarette packs are full of slogans that smoking is harmful to health, and even the country has formulated Relevant laws prohibit smoking in public places, but smokers still go their own way and the number is increasing day by day. They have the mentality of enjoying themselves immediately and relieving their worries all night long. No amount of persuasion will help.

Smoking is harmful to life

We cannot force others to quit smoking, but we can actively guide, give friendly reminders, and step by step. Quitting smoking or smoking less is not only responsible for ourselves, but also Be responsible to your family and society. A U.S. study last year showed that compared with traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes increase the risk of stroke in young smokers by 15%. At the same time, their adverse effects on endothelial cells may increase smokers' risk of cardiovascular disease. E-cigarettes Steam can also weaken the intestinal lining and cause chronic inflammation.

Similarly, the "Report on the Health Hazards of Smoking in China 2020" also pointed out that e-cigarettes are unsafe. The e-cigarette liquid contains harmful substances such as nicotine, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde, which can cause harm to health. However, its harmless, fashionable and compact advertising has confused the majority of smokers and audiences. You must know that a standard capacity cigarette cartridge is equivalent to the smoking volume of 3 packs of cigarettes, and smokers often smoke more and more without knowing it. .

So, smoking is harmful to health, whether it is e-cigarettes or cigarettes, whether it is oneself or others. This is also the most important reason why various regions continue to introduce tobacco control laws and regulations.
