"Vaping" side effects - continued Thurs Mar 27th

So, we now know "vaping" can cause irreversible lung damage (including Asthma) . . . "brain development damage" . . . organ damage . . . irreversible vision issues . . . teeth and gum disease . . . and "addiction issues" . . . not to mention . . . these chemicals can cause "CANCER"!!!

"Vaping" can also cause . . . "dermatitis" in the face . . . superior neck region . . . and the hands . . .

And what about "DEMENTIA"???

Well . . . the "aerosols" produced from e-cigs during "vaping" . . . has the potential to contribute to "cognitive decline" . . . or exacerbate existing conditions that may lead to "dementia".

And with this . . . the "particles" inhaled while "vaping" . . . can cause "inflammation" (swelling) and "irritation" in the lungs . . . which can lead to lung damage like . . . scarring and narrowing of the tubes that bring air in and out of the lungs.

Okay . . . so how many "puffs" of "vape" . . . equal . . . one cigarette you ask???

Well . . . they say . . . between 12 - 25 "puffs" . . . equal . . . 1 cigarette . . .

And how did all this craziness and "addiction" start you ask???

Well . . . the concept of "vaping" dates back to the early 1920s . . . when the first patent was issued on a "electric vaporizer" . . . not for smoking mind you . . .

But, the "madness" didn't start until a Chinese pharmacist developed a modern electronic cigarette in 2003 . . .

And this "electronic cigarette" was introduced to the U.S. market . . . in 2006 . . . with the first commercialized brand being marketed in 2007.

And by . . .

2011 . . . there were 7 million users, thinking this was "SAFER" than smoking cigarettes

2020 . . . 68 million users . . . due to the pandemic

2021 . . . 82 million users . . . due to chronic stress of the pandemic

2022 . . . 17 million users . . . people NOT being stuck in captivity from the pandemic

2023 . . . 15 million users . . . again, a decrease due to adverse side effects

Now what about our youth???

2023 . . . there were 2.13 million middle and high school students vaping "illegally"

2024 . . . a "decrease" to 1.63 million middle and high school students using

And this act of "VAPING" . . . puts the body . . . 4 - 8 times MORE likely to develop LUNG CANCER . . . than people that "ONLY" smoke cigarettes . . . OR DON'T SMOKE AT ALL!!

So, tomorrow . . . let's finish this topic of conversation.
