Electronic cigarettes ( ELECTRIC CIGARETTE ) are a type of smoking device that uses an electrical mechanism to generate heat and vapor, contains various chemicals, without smoke from the combustion process like regular

The part of the liquid that is vaporized and enters the body will have the main compounds :  

1. Nicotine is a substance that makes the body addicted to smoking.

2. Propylene  glycol causes coughing .​​​

3. Glycerin is a humectant.  When mixed with propylene glycol , it causes coughing .

4. Flavoring and flavoring agents are chemicals commonly used in food , but it has not been confirmed how they will affect the body when converted into a vapor.

Various chemicals found in liquids can cause harm to the body, such as :

Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system. 

• Increase : Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate

• Increased risk of cancer : Lung, oral, esophageal, pancreatic cancer

• Respiratory diseases

• Stimulates the release of the hormone Cortisol,  ทางเข้า ufabet which increases blood sugar, which is the cause of diabetes .

• Stimulates the number of blood vessel wall cells to increase, causing blood vessels to narrow, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

• In pregnant women, nicotine affects the development of the fetus’s brain, which can lead to death .

• Nicotine is addictive, just like regular cigarettes.

Propylene Glycol / Glycerol  / Glycerin​​  

When inhaled, it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and lungs. It is more common in people with chronic lung disease, asthma , and emphysema.

and compounds that are harmful to the body, such as heavy metals, arsenic, Formaldehyde, Benzene , etc. Research has also found that smoking e-cigarettes increases the risk of various diseases , such as heart disease, cancer .

Compared to regular cigarettes, are e-cigarettes more or less harmful ?

The vapor from e-cigarettes has smaller particle sizes than regular cigarettes, allowing them to be inhaled deeper into the lungs. These small particles attach to lung tissue and are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, making them difficult for the body to expel.

E-cigarettes are still new. There is not enough research data to confirm the dangers of each chemical in e-cigarettes. In the case of long-term use, there is no data that it is dangerous.  But it does not mean that it is not dangerous. We will have to follow up and study it further first.
