Vapor is often seen as a substitute for conventional cigarettes, aka tobacco cigarettes. The use of
e-cigarettes is colored by pros and cons regarding its effects which are considered safer than
traditional cigarettes. However, a research study shows that e-cigarettes are also dangerous for
their users. Johns Hopkins Medicine launched that Director of Clinical Research at the Johns
Hopkins Ciccarone Center, Michael Blaha, M.D., M.P.H. said that vape is not a healthy choice
as a substitute for cigarettes. Among cigarette users, vapor is believed to be "healthier" than
Since 2009, FDA has pointed out that e-cigarettes contain “detectable levels of known
carcinogens and toxic chemicals to which users could be exposed.” For example, in e-cigarette
cartridges marketed as “tobacco-free,” the FDA detected a toxic compound found in antifreeze,
tobacco-specific compounds that have been shown to cause cancer in humans, and other toxic
tobacco-specific impurities. Another study looked at 42 of these liquid cartridges and determined
that they contained formaldehyde, a chemical known to cause cancer in humans. Also, A study
of mice funded by the National Institutes of Health found that e-cigarette smoke could cause
mutations in DNA that could increase the risk of cancer. These specific mutations have been
shown to potentially contribute to the development of lung and bladder cancer in mice exposed
to electronic cigarette smoke. The researchers claim that these chemicals could also induce
mutations leading to cancer in humans. Futhermore, the main component of e-cigarettes is the
liquid inside the cartridge. For the manufacture of liquids, nicotine is extracted from tobacco and
mixed with other ingredients such as flavorings, dyes, and other chemicals. The harmful
ingredients in e-cigarettes are nicotine, carbonyl compounds, and volatile organic compounds.
That ingredients make e-ciggaarettes are dangerous for health. Some of the dangers of

of lung disease that leads to death. CNN Wednesday (11/9) launched, six people were dead due
to lung disease related to the habit of vaping. The six deaths occurred in Kansas, California,
2. Multiple Addictions
Although it is claimed to be a way to help you quit smoking, the presence of e-cigarettes
has not received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as something to stop nicotine
addiction. "You are even exposing yourself to substances that are not known to be safe and could
possibly be very dangerous," Blaha said. By taking e-cigarettes to stop nicotine addiction, you
run the risk of getting stuck using both. Not a few people are now trapped addicted to
3. Potentially Explosive
A 12-year-old teenager in Nevada, USA, experienced mouth bleeding, broken teeth and a
In 2015, US general surgeons reported that vaping use among high school students had
increased by 900%. As many as 40% of e-cigarette users have never even smoked regular
tobacco. According to Blaha, there are three reasons why e-cigarettes may be so attractive to
young people and form a new addiction. The first reason is the assumption that e-cigarettes are
healthier because of the cloudiness of vitamins and fruit juice flavoring. Then, the cost of
smoking vapes is cheaper than conventional cigarettes. Third, the smell of fragrant vape smoke
and a trendy appearance, also makes vape users look more stylish.
Vapor is developing into a new generation of tobacco cigarettes because it was found to
contain nicotine. Nicotine itself has a potent effect which in the long run can increase a person's
heart attack, stroke, and cancer. In fact, like cigarettes, e-cigarettes are also dangerous for those
Vapor is claimed to be healthier than tobacco cigarettes because the users are not exposed
to the 7,000 chemical compounds found in regular cigarettes, compounds that have been linked
to cancer risk. However, that statement does not mean that e-cigarettes are safe for health.
Futhermore, as mentioned before, vape fluids have also been found to contain nicotine which is
highly addictive and dangerous. A number of studies have also shown that vape vapor contains
metals. Some of the flavorings that are a mainstay of e-cigarettes also contain chemicals that are
On the other hand, several studies have shown that e-cigarettes are far from harmless.
Based on data obtained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United
States, several studies show that the nicotine in e-cigarettes is absorbed by the user's body and
those around him. Nicotine is exactly dangerous for the young e-cigarette users because it has a
negative impact on brain development. Nicotine is very dangerous to the health of pregnant
women and the fetus in their womb. Using e-cigarettes or even just being around people who use
e-cigarettes can expose pregnant women to nicotine and other toxic chemicals found in e-
cigarettes. The vapor generated from electronic cigarettes is not water vapor. It contains nicotine
and can contain other chemicals that can be harmful to health and pollute the air. The vapor
produced by e-cigarettes and the liquid in e-cigarettes is dangerous. Children and adults can be
poisoned by ingesting, inhaling, or absorbing the liquid through the skin or eyes.
Hazardous or the harmful additives have been found in some e-cigarettes. These
chemicals, such as those containing metals, volatile organic compounds, and nitrosamines. These
levels tend to be lower than in tobacco cigarettes, but there is no way of knowing how much
harmful content e-cigarettes are because they are not regulated. Other research also shows the
dangers of e-cigarettes. Reporting from sciencenews, research shows that the chemicals in e-
cigarettes can damage lung tissue and reduce the ability of lung cells to protect the lungs from
germs and other harmful substances. This is because the nicotine content in cigarettes causes
lung cells to be easily penetrated by substances from outside the body. The dangers of e-
cigarettes can encourage a smoking culture in children, as explained by Jessica, a study leader
from the University of Southern California, United States. In fact, because of the dangers of e-
cigarettes, the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned all countries in the world to
prohibit children, pregnant women, and women of reproductive age from smoking e-cigarettes.
Basically, the only way to maintain your health is to quit smoking, whatever type of
cigarette it is. Smoking even once a day can even harm your health. For now, e-cigarette users
have not experienced the health problems because of smoking, but we don’t know next,
ecpecially for the long-term situation. The health effects of smoking only appear in the next few
years.
