Vaping and E-Cigarettes- safe choice or slow poisoning?

What are E-cigarettes?

E-cigarettes, otherwise called vaporizers or vapes, enable the users to breathe in nicotine in a fume as opposed to taking in smoke. They are otherwise called e-vaporizers, or electronic nicotine delivery systems, are battery-worked gadgets that individuals use to breathe in an aerosol, which commonly contains nicotine (however not generally), flavorings, and different synthetic compounds.

Some common nicknames for e-cigarettes are:

e-cigs

e-hookahs

hookah pens

vapes

vape pens

mods (customizable, more powerful vaporizers)

Effect of E-Cigarettes on Brain:

The nicotine in e-liquids is readily absorbed from the lungs into the bloodstream when a person uses an e-cigarette. Upon entering the blood, nicotine stimulates the adrenal glands to release the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline).

Epinephrine stimulates the central nervous system and increases blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate. As with most addictive substances, nicotine activates the brain’s reward circuits and also increases levels of a chemical messenger in the brain called dopamine, which reinforces rewarding behaviors.

Pleasure caused by nicotine’s interaction with the reward circuit motivates some people to use nicotine again and again, despite risks to their health and well-being.

E-Cigarettes and heart diseases:

The e-cigarettes cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels and lungs - and are putting young people at risk. As per new findings, vaping even just for once can damage your arteries. Heart specialists found that one use of an e-cig increased heart rates and stiffened arteries.

They also noted that vaping damages the lining of the blood vessels (the endothelium) stopping it from working properly. By doing so, it increases a vaper's risk of heart disease.

Respiratory system, lungs, and e-cigarettes:

The use of e-cigarettes has increased rapidly. Although vaping has been shown to assist with smoking cessation, cases of severe vaping-related pulmonary disease and several deaths have recently been reported.

According to one study, the patients with a history of vaping were clinically suspected to have vaping-associated lung injury. The presentation was acute or subacute in all cases, with bilateral pulmonary opacities. Histopathological discoveries indicated examples of intense lung damage, including intense fibrinous pneumonitis, diffuse alveolar harm, or arranging pneumonia, generally bronchiolocentric and joined by bronchiolitis

Likewise, e-cigarette use opens the lungs to an assortment of synthetics, including those additional to e-fluids, and different synthetic substances created during the warming/disintegrating process.

Verdict:

Some people believe e-cigarettes may help lower nicotine cravings in those who are trying to quit smoking. But e-cigarettes can still damage a person's health. E-cigarettes can prompt nicotine compulsion and expanded hazard for dependence on different medications. E-cigarette use additionally opens the lungs to an assortment of synthetic substances, including those additional to e-fluids, and different synthetic compounds created during the warming/disintegrating process.

The e-cigarettes are not a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes, and their perceived 'safety' is not warranted rather, it is better to call them slow poisons rather than a safer option.
