E-cigarettes are also incredibly harmful.

Many people mistakenly believe that e-cigarettes are harmless, even using them to quit regular cigarettes. However, numerous studies have shown that e-cigarettes still contain harmful substances, and some even pose a cancer risk 15 times higher than regular cigarettes.

Subjective user

For many people, using e-cigarettes is an alternative to traditional cigarettes. With e-cigarettes, users don't need to constantly carry a lighter, and e-cigarettes don't produce smoke; instead, they create a vapor stream with a flavor and feel similar to real cigarettes.

What makes e-cigarettes appealing is also the fruity flavor of their e-liquids, such as grape, orange, apple, and strawberry, which many users perceive as "natural" and safe. However, the origin of these e-liquids is not guaranteed, and e-cigarette shops often lack the necessary documentation to prove their authenticity.

Meanwhile, numerous studies have shown that, although nicotine is significantly reduced compared to traditional cigarettes, the toxins produced during e-cigarette use can expose users to risks of harm and cancer no less than those from regular cigarettes. Liquid nicotine, used in e-cigarette mixtures, is also a potentially deadly substance…

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

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

Scientists at Portland University conducted tests to detect formaldehyde, a colorless gas produced by e-cigarettes when the liquid containing nicotine and flavorings inside the device is heated.

Formaldehyde poisoning, regardless of the amount, can significantly affect health and, in particular, threaten life. High levels of exposure can lead to cardiovascular diseases and even cancer.

According to a Harvard University study, 75% of the 51 types of e-cigarette liquids contain diacetyl, a substance that causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Toxic heavy metals such as tin, nickel, lead, and mercury have also been found in e-cigarette vapor.

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

Scientists from Japan's Ministry of Health have concluded that e-cigarettes contain ten times more carcinogens than regular cigarettes.
