Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Young non-smokers told not to take up vaping by experts
E-cigarettes heat nicotine (extracted from tobacco), flavorings, and other chemicals to create an aerosol when inhaled. While regular tobacco cigarettes contain 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic, E-cigarette, or Vaping, is regarded far less harmful than smoking tobacco even though it contains nicotine which is highly addictive. Nicotine causes the smoker to crave a smoke and suffer withdrawal symptoms if he or she ignores the craving. Nicotine is in fact a toxic substance, which raises blood pressure and spikes adrenaline. It then increases the heart rate and the likelihood of having a heart attack. Nowadays among youth, e-cigarettes, especially the disposable kind that comes with a variety of flavors, are getting more popular than any traditional tobacco product. As a result, young people are vaping and have become addicted to it. Even though vaping is much safer than cigarettes, researchers warn that the long-term effects of vaping are still unknown. Then what should be done to discourage young people from vaping? Should e-cigarettes be taxed as much as conventional cigarettes?
Enjoy reading the article about a recent survey on vaping among young people in England.
