Topic - The Dangers of Vaping
Electronic cigarettes have been around since early 2000, but only now has the FDA asked for companies to submit for testing the thousands of chemicals used to make the flavors.
Considering that some of the chemicals are known carcinogens, why did it take so long?
Vaping is being touted as a transition from being a smoker to being smoke-free, but it isn’t.
In fact, it’s likely to be more dangerous than smoking tobacco products because the short- and long-term effects of these chemicals being heated and inhaled aren’t known.
Research using mice indicates that when they’re exposed to vape smoke in the womb they became very hyperactive, had a build-up of plaque in their arteries, had a 50% decrease in sperm and the sperm they had moved slowly.
Thinking of quitting? See your doctor. Nicorette gum and Chantix nicotine replacement may help you.
