Unless you have been completely left it the dark, you should be aware that cigarettes are bad for you. Hopefully you even set a New Year’s resolution to quit smoking! It is so important, however, that you do not fall for the “innocent” look of the e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes), because there really is nothing innocent about them.
Anyone who chooses to smoke e-cigarettes needs to be aware that they contain formaldehyde, propylene glycol, acetaldehyde, and nicotine, as well as other carcinogenic chemicals. Not to mention, nicotine absorption can even be higher than traditional cigarettes due to the higher concentrations found in some cartridges. They are pretty much just an alternative way to put nicotine into your body.
Since they may seem “cool” or “trendy”, have different flavors, and are odorless, it can be easy to turn a blind eye to the facts. Plus, it’s quite concerning that many young people who never chose to smoke cigarettes are opting to smoke e-cigarettes.
Studies are still being conducted as to the full degree of danger of e-cigarettes, but the bottom line is that you are introducing cancer-causing chemicals to your body.
Smoke obviously affects your lungs, as well as your overall health. When it comes to your oral health, it can harm the density of your teeth causing staining, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and even dry mouth. E-cigarettes can be just as bad for your teeth as real ones. Ask your dentist for more information about how smoking affects your mouth.
The best thing to do when it comes to any type of any type of smoking or vaping – do yourself a favor and don’t! Share this post with anyone you know who indulges in e-cigarettes. The more people who are informed about the reality of this bad habit, the better.
