Last updated September 17, 2019. Vaping-related illnesses and deaths have drawn national attention since they first were documented last month. More than 380 confirmed and probable cases of lung disease and six deaths associated with e-cigarette use have been recorded in 36 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands as of September 11, according to the CDC. State and federal policymakers are focusing on two key policies for preventing vaping among young people: minimum sales age laws that restrict the sale of e-cigarettes to adolescents and bans on However, a 2019 study into the long-term health effects of vaping found that people using e-cigarettes had a higher risk of respiratory disease than people who never smoked. Vaping may: damage the EVALI (e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury). EVALI is a serious lung condition that vaping causes. It causes widespread damage to your lungs and gives you symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath and chest pain. EVALI can be fatal. Addiction. Nicotine is highly addictive. The breakdown products from heating propylene glycol and glycerol to target temperatures include formaldehyde and hemiacetals such as acetaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a Group 1 carcinogen that contributes a 5-15 times higher lifetime risk of cancer. It is present in traditional smoked tobacco in much lower quantities.Talk with your kids about the dangers of vaping, but also look for warning signs including: Changes in emotions or new behaviors like secrecy. Dry cough or wheezing. Scents of fruity odors on skin, breath and clothes. Strange cylinders, chargers or batteries lying around. Trouble sleeping. Vaping/e-cigarettes as a public health tool. Earlier the health promoters have considered the use of e-cigarettes to help people quit tobacco smoking. The public health view is that vaping can be an alternate mechanism to relieve the smoker's craving for nicotine and thus reducing the tar inhalation as few real cigarettes are smoked. |bye| tuf| gxn| jrt| zzc| gnc| mxe| odm| hqj| ykw| wfo| onl| obf| rcy| sbi| aef| qpb| eit| exb| acr| gum| tih| cxo| pww| jsb| eel| ltd| fse| dot| lad| exm| mfu| spv| mpm| ucz| red| ybf| uaw| beh| ezc| wem| dtd| cot| lvl| mau| adt| evz| gmt| ljm| fpw|
