Talking about cigarettes means talking about hundreds of types of toxic substances that are also carcinogenic. Starting from heart disease, pulmonary disorders, fetal disorders, infertility, until high blood pressure is ready to haunt smokers.

Do you want to know the impact of smoking each year? According to data from the WHO, at least more than 7 million deaths occur due to diseases caused by cigarette smoke each year. Sadly, around 890,000 cases that lead to death must be experienced by passive smokers.

> In addition to cigarettes, now there are also vape or electric cigarettes that are "rising" in the past few years. Most of the users among the millennial generation. For example in the United States, in 2015 vape users among students increased by 900 percent. Very much is not it?

Well, the question is simple, about which one is more between tobacco cigarettes and vape?

Vape Safer, Who Said?

Various reasons for someone to switch to cigarette vape from tobacco. Starting from vape cigarettes that have flavors, some say it is more efficient, some are just following the trend. In addition, there are even reasons that vape cigarettes are more "safe" than tobacco cigarettes, really?
Based on the release from the Indonesian Ministry of Health - Directorate General of Disease Prevention and Control - Directorate of Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases, e-cigarettes without nicotine can still damage the lungs. The release said that flavored e-cigarettes, such as vanilla and cinnamon, can damage the lungs, although they do not contain nicotine, according to an American study.

The researchers investigated what happened to monocytes or a type of white blood cell when exposed to taste-enhancing chemicals used in liquid e-cigarettes that were popular.

Although the liquid does not contain nicotine, its chemical ingredients are still harmful to the body. After further investigation, the flavor enhancer appears to increase the biological markers (biomarkers) to indicate tissue swelling and damage. Many of them kill cells.

Now, when this condition continues for a long time, then this type of cell damage can cause various lung problems. According to researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, lung problems can occur, for example, fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders, and asthma.

Not only that, but the vape can also cause swelling of the lungs. Do not believe it? When the researchers in the study above, when researchers gave exposure to e-cigarette fluid to human lung cells in the laboratory, guess what happened?

These lung cells increase the production of chemicals. Well, this condition causes swelling and can result in damage to the lungs.


Need Further Research

After reading the study above, are you still sure that vape is considered "safe"? remember, the effects of flavor-enhancing chemicals in vape can be detrimental to the body because it is not safe for suction.

Then, where are the more dangerous tobacco and vape cigarettes? Unfortunately, the above study does not provide a full picture of the potential health problems in the long run. Therefore. More research is still needed to understand the effects of vape on the lungs in the long run.

Please Wait...

Although vape or tobacco cigarette is not yet known to "quickly" destroy the body, both are equally dangerous.

Well, seeing the many contents of cigarettes and vapes that are toxic, smoking should be stopped. How do you agree?
