People try different ways to quit smoking addiction, even many people start smoking e-cigarettes. They believe that this will eliminate our urge to smoke, and there will be no harm to our health.
Actually, the e-cigarette is a kind of electronic nicotine delivery system. The nicotine liquid in it does not burn, so there is no smoke. Vapor is emitted from this solution, which is inhaled and people feel like smoking. But research says that people who do this should be careful.
It has been told in research that nicotine taken in this way immediately accelerates the rate of blood clot formation. In addition, it reduces the ability of small arteries to dilate, which increases heart rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also increases the level of hormones like adrenaline in the body and it also increases blood clotting.
The research was presented at
the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress. Researchers from
the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, studied a group of 22 men and
women aged 18 to 45 who smoked occasionally but were healthy. But after the use
of e-cigarettes containing nicotine, short-term changes were found in them
immediately.
Gustaf Laitinen, a doctor at Helsingborg Hospital and researcher at Karolinska Institutet, said that our study shows that the effect of using e-cigarettes containing nicotine is similar to smoking conventional cigarettes.
Long-term exposure to this
type can cause the arteries to narrow or clog, increasing the risk of heart
attack and stroke. So it would be better to say goodbye to e-cigarettes.
Stay healthy, stay safe...
