Vaping: What you need to know

by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

What is vaping?

Vaping is inhaling the steam created by an electronic cigarette or other devices for vaping.


Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices. They contain some cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and chemicals. The liquid heats up and turns into a vapor, which the person inhales. You can use this advken manta mtl v2. Therefore, consuming electronic cigarettes is called "vaping" (steam). 




What are the effects of vaping on health?

Since vaping does not exist for a long time, we still do not know how it affects the body over time. But health authorities are reporting serious lung damage in people who vape and even some deaths. 


Vaping behavior introduces nicotine into the body. And nicotine is very addictive and can:

  • slow brain development in adolescents, and affect memory, concentration, learning, self-control, attention, and mood

  • increase the risk of suffering from other types of addictions in adult life.

 

Also, electronic cigarettes:

  • irritate and damage the lungs

  • they can cause serious lung damage and even death

  • They can lead to smoking cigarettes and consuming other types of tobacco


Some people use electronic cigarettes to vape marijuana, THC oil, and other dangerous chemicals. Apart from irritating the lungs, these drugs can also affect a person's way of thinking, acting and feeling. 


How do electronic cigarettes work?

There are different types of electronic cigarettes. But there are many people who use the Juul brand. This electronic cigarette looks like a USB stick and can be charged to the USB port of computers. Since it generates less smoke than other electronic cigarettes, some teenagers use it to vape at home and at school. The concentration of nicotine of the Juul brand is similar to that of ordinary cigarettes.


Do you have to vape every day to become addicted?

Even if you don't vape every day, you can become addicted. The speed with which someone becomes addicted varies. Some people become addicted even if they do not vape every day. 


And what about electronic cigarettes that don't have nicotine?

Most electronic cigarettes contain nicotine. Even those that do not contain other chemicals. And these chemicals can irritate and damage the lungs. The long-term effects of electronic cigarettes that do not contain nicotine are not yet known.
