SERAMBINEWS.COM – Research into exactly how e-cigarette use damages the lungs is still in its early stages, but it’s clear that use electronic cigarette or e-cigarettes have a bad impact on the lungs.
Regular cigarettes and vapes both involve heating the substance and making you inhale the smoke produced.
With a regular cigarette, you inhale the smoke from the burnt tobacco.
While vaping, you heat the flavorings and other chemicals in the vape until they turn into steam and then you inhale.
Stephen Broderick, a Johns Hopkins lung cancer surgeon, said that e-cigarettes work the same way as a nebulizer – a device for delivering drugs that are often used by people with asthma or other lung diseases.
“The nebulizer converts the liquid drug into the vapor that the patient inhales. And it’s a very effective way of getting the drug to the lungs,” said Broderick.
The same goes for vape.
This e-cigarette introduces nicotine into your lungs and bloodstream.
Although the smoke is not like regular cigarette smoke, many harmful substances can enter your body when using e-cigarettes.
In fact, many chemicals that can cause cancer are in vapor, including formaldehyde, heavy metals, and particles that can get stuck in the deepest parts of your lungs.
