Electronic cigarettes are also incredibly toxic.

Many people mistakenly believe that e-cigarettes are harmless and can even be used to help them quit smoking. However, many studies have shown that e-cigarettes still contain toxic substances and can even cause cancer 15 times more than regular cigarettes.

User subjectivity

For many people, using e-cigarettes is an alternative to regular cigarettes. Because with e-cigarettes, users do not need to carry a lighter, e-cigarettes do not create smoke but create a stream of vapor that tastes and feels like real cigarettes.

The appeal of e-cigarettes is also due to the flavors of fruit essential oils such as grape, orange, apple, strawberry, etc., which make many users feel that they are “natural” and safe. However, the origin of these essential oils is not guaranteed, and the shops selling e-cigarettes do not have any documents to prove it.

Meanwhile, many studies have shown that, although nicotine is much lower than traditional cigarettes, the toxic substances produced during the process of smoking electronic cigarettes can put users at risk of toxicity and cancer no less than regular cigarettes. Liquid nicotine mixed in the mixture used for electronic cigarettes is also a substance that can cause death...

The risk of cancer is 15 times higher than regular cigarettes.

In 2015, American scientists concluded that people who regularly use e-cigarettes have a risk of getting cancer 15 times higher than those who smoke regular cigarettes.

Scientists at the University of Portland tested the amount of formaldehyde, a colorless gas produced by e-cigarettes when they heat liquid containing nicotine and flavorings inside the device.

People exposed to Formaldehyde, regardless of the concentration, will have a significant impact on their health, especially threatening their lives. If the poisoning is at a high level, users will also face cardiovascular diseases, even cancer.

According to a study by Harvard University, 75% of 51 e-cigarette e-liquids contain diacetyl - a substance that causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. People also found toxic heavy metals in e-cigarette vapor such as tin, nickel, lead and mercury...

In addition, e-cigarettes can also cause side effects for users such as coughing, nausea, chest pain, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, dry mouth, etc.

Scientists from the Japanese Ministry of Health concluded that electronic cigarettes contain 10 times more carcinogens than regular cigarettes.
