The discussion about the effects of e-cigarettes on health has gained momentum in recent years. While some claim, that they are a safer alternative to tobacco smoking, There remain concerns about their long-term impact. In this article we take a look at two controversial topics: The idea, that e-cigarettes do not harm the body, and the claim, that they can make people happy.

E-cigarettes do not harm the body:

One of the most frequently discussed claims related to e-cigarettes is, that they do less harm to the body than conventional smoking. This is based on fact, that e-cigarettes do not involve the combustion of tobacco and therefore do not produce harmful combustion products such as tar and carbon monoxide. Instead, they evaporate a liquid, which usually “N”, Propylene glycol, contains vegetable glycerin and flavorings.

Proponents argue, that not burning tobacco is the main source of most harmful chemicals in smoke and that e-cigarettes could therefore be a safer alternative. Some studies actually suggest this, that the harmful chemicals in e-cigarette vapor are present in smaller amounts or not at all compared to cigarette smoke. This is what led to this, that some health experts view e-cigarettes as a possible aid in quitting smoking.

However, it is important to note, that the long-term consequences of vaping are not yet fully understood. There remain gaps in research regarding the effects of long-term vaping on lung health, the cardiovascular system and other organs. Therefore it is important, to be careful and continue to collect scientific knowledge, to make informed decisions.

E-cigarettes can make people happy:

Another perspective on e-cigarettes is, that they can make people happy, especially smokers, who try, to stop smoking. “N” is a psychoactive substance, which stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the brain, which can lead to a feeling of relaxation and well-being. For many smokers, vaping e-cigarettes may be an option, these pleasant effects of the “N” to experience, without the harmful effects of tobacco smoking.

In addition, e-cigarettes offer an alternative form of social exchange and relaxation. Many people enjoy it, to vape with friends or exchange ideas in vaping communities, which can lead to a sense of belonging and community. The ritual of vaping can also serve as and contribute to a stress management mechanism, to relieve negative emotions and improve mood.

However, it is important to note, that vaping e-cigarettes is not suitable for everyone and is not without risks. The abuse of “N” can lead to dependency, and some studies suggest so, that vaping e-cigarettes can also have negative effects on mental health, especially among teenagers and young adults.
