How Much Harm Different Types of Smoking Actually Bring

Vaping

“Vaping is definitely less harmful than regular cigarettes smoking,” says Stanton Glantz, a researcher at the University of California. “At least because e-cigs create vapor instead of smoke and it makes a smoker inhale less nicotine than he normally could”. But even if you choose a non-nicotine liquid, this does not mean that your body will benefit from it. The main components of any vaping liquid are propylene glycol and glycerol.Scientists determined that when heated they decompose and toxic substances such as formaldehyde and acrolein are released. Formaldehyde has a negative effect on the nervous system, and acrolein irritates the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and eyes. When heated, the vaping coil forms a fine-dispersed vapor. This vapor is easily inhaled and does not burn the respiratory tract. However, if heated too much, the particles of e-cigarettes liquid remain in the lungs. It is in this aspect that the main harm of vaping lies.
