Vaping Addiction

Science News state vaping is far from non-threatening
While many cigarette smokers turned to e-cigs, vape pens, and box mods in the hopes of avoiding cancer-causing agents in cigarettes (tar and arsenic), studies from the American Association for the Advancement of Science has signaled that vaping is far from non-threatening. Having been introduced back in 2008, Electronic cigarettes have continued to gain massive popularity in recent years. Utilized as a way to quit ingestion of harmful agents of smoking and/or quitting smoking, it often develops into a habit in and of itself, especially among teenagers. This has prompted many people, especially parents, to question whether addiction to vaping is dangerous or nothing of major concern. Well, let’s try to find out facts about vaping addiction.

 

What Exactly Is Vaping And Why Is It Becoming So Popular?

What exactly is vapingVaping is a slang term for using personal vaporizers, electronic nicotine delivery, or electronic cigarettes. In other words, it’s the practice of inhaling vapor from e-liquid via a vaporizer. In order to enjoy vaping, you need to have e-liquid, an atomizer, battery, and inhaler mouthpiece, which are often sold in starter kits, you can check out some reviews and information on our SmokeTastic homepage. The e-liquid contain nicotine that has been mixed with propylene glycol, glycerin, and different flavors. When heated, the liquid produces a vapor that one can inhale.

E-cigs were introduced to help smokers eliminate toxins, conventional chemicals, and the persistent scent of cigarettes. However, studies are now indicating that e-cigs could be as harmful as conventional cigarettes.

Vaping is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their portability and the wide range of exotic liquid flavors that are available. The vaping industry is estimated to reach $10 billion this year as more people are now competing to have them. We do support vaping as a way of helping smokers lower their nicotine intake and use vaping to quit smoking.

 

Research Studies of Vaping Addiction

Report on vaping addictionThere are various studies that have been conducted to determine whether vaping addiction is dangerous or not. One such study was conducted by the Pen State College of Medicine back in 2014. In this study, volunteer ex-smokers were interviewed. The respondents reported that on average, they were smoking 24 cigarettes on a daily basis, and once they switched to vaping, they reported that they had 24 vape sessions regularly.

The addiction was found to be the same, but vaping was found to have a greater influence on behavioral and psychological changes. A few of them had instances where they woke at night to get a nicotine dose while other e-cig users were able to wait until the next day to vape. Additionally, most respondents admitted that they had few cravings for e-cigs as compared to their previous cravings for conventional cigarettes.

This study concluded that the difference in addiction to e-cigs and cigarettes could be attributed to usage; smoking is a one-go practice, and many usually finished the whole cigarette at one-go, while in vaping they took several puffs after a short period- 2-3 puffs for every 30 minutes.

Part of the problem is the evolution of the humble electronic cigarette. Four or Five years ago it started out with electronic cigarettes that looked and resembled the traditional cigarette. But these days the manufacturer has developed the device with less resistance within the coils, and thus produce huge amounts of vapor, known as sub ohm vaping. Using the best box mods produces such a sweet taste and smooth vape that it is now, in the words of a vaper, a beautiful and clean experience.

 

Are there any concerns and dangers of vaping?

While vaping eliminate cancer-causing elements found in conventional smoking, studies have linked this practice to the weakening of the immune system. Studies have shown that vaping inhibits the functioning of 358 genes associated with fighting infections as compared to smoking which has shown to only inhibit 53 genes.

Although the vaping pens and e-liquids do not have the same toxins found in conventional cigarettes, the harsh truth is that they still have nicotine, an addictive substance. Nicotine has been associated with withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, and more. According to CDC, nicotine is as addictive as alcohol, heroin, and cocaine.

Adverse effects of vaping include;

The Bottom Line

The dangers and safety of vaping are two subjects that have remained debatable as they have not been truly established. While there are studies that have claimed that the effects of vaping are quite different to those of smoking, it’s still unclear when it comes to linking frequent vaping to these effects.
