Academician Zhong Nanshan once said: Studies have shown that smokers are 2-4 times more likely to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 4-6 times more likely to suffer from lung cancer than non-smokers.
Therefore, more and more people begin to rely on auxiliary products to quit smoking, among which e-cigarettes are the most popular. Regarding the safety of e-cigarettes, the Tobacco Bureau also released the experimental results of mice smoking e-cigarettes. No obvious toxic effect on mice!
Can you believe it? I don't believe it anyway. So, can smoking e-cigarettes cause balloon lung?
Previously, Harvard University conducted a survey on e-cigarettes, and found that 75% of e-cigarettes contain diacetyl odorant, which tastes like butter, but it can cause respiratory diseases-"popcorn lung".
Electronic cigarettes contain propylene glycol. Although it is a safe substance, it will become an allergen in liquid spray, causing headaches, dizziness, drowsiness and other symptoms.
Most importantly, e-cigarettes contain the same nicotine as ordinary cigarettes. Liquid nicotine is more harmful to human body than granular nicotine, from vomiting to convulsion and even death.
The spices in electronic cigarette leaves will damage the cardiovascular system and release an amazing amount of heavy metals. In one study, researchers found that 8 1%? All the cigarette oil boxes tested contained fungi. Exposure to this impurity can lead to asthma and decreased lung function.
The activity of lung macrophages in people who regularly use e-cigarettes may be damaged, and the harm of e-cigarettes may damage important immune cells. Recently, it was reported that a mysterious lung disease broke out and affected other healthy people. ? At present, there are more than 300 million smokers in China, among which the number of e-cigarette users has exceeded10 million. At the same time, the younger trend of e-cigarette population is accelerating. Pulmonary fibrosis is the most taboo topic for people who smoke electronic cigarettes, but most people don't really realize the seriousness of the problem.
In recent years, more and more studies have found that each bite of e-cigarette contains more and more toxic substances, so the harm related to e-cigarette is also increasing. It affects both users and bystanders. Although it is widely publicized in the industry that e-cigarettes are safer substitutes for combustible cigarettes, the so-called "safer" industry standards may not be safe.
The National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine found that "there is conclusive evidence that most e-cigarette products contain and release a large number of potentially toxic substances other than nicotine."
★ Every time you inhale an e-cigarette, it is a human chemistry experiment. More and more young people are suffering from chemical pneumonia.
Doctors believe that there are warning signs that e-cigarettes are harmful to health, but because there is no standard reporting method, it seems to be ignored.
A new three-year study at the University of California, San Francisco shows that smoking e-cigarettes increases the risk of lung diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema, and is also a risk factor for lung diseases.
20 19 On August 23rd, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 193 cases of lung diseases that may be related to the use of electronic cigarettes. By September 20 19 and 1, NBC News found that the health departments of 50 states in the United States had reported 298 cases.
According to CNN, Milwaukee immediately warned citizens to stop using e-cigarettes after 16 patients with chemical pneumonia were admitted to hospital. According to the Milwaukee Health Department, all these patients said that they used THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) electronic cigarette products before hospitalization. The number of cases of lung diseases has increased to 32, and health officials say these cases are under investigation.
Not all patients hospitalized for chemical pneumonia have used THC electronic cigarette products. However, don't blindly believe that e-cigarettes are harmless propaganda.
