The harmfulness of fruit cigarettes

Many people who are in the stage of quitting smoking feel very painful when they don’t smoke, so some people think of buying some fruit-flavored e-cigarettes to smoke, which is not only harmless to the body but also can relieve the addiction to smoking. In fact, what everyone doesn’t understand is that although fruit-flavored cigarettes smell very fragrant and seem to have no harm to the human body, this is not the case. Let’s take a look at the harmful effects of fruit cigarettes.

Fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are harmful to your health.

1. Electronic cigarette flavors: The flavor of electronic cigarettes is made by removing many harmful ingredients in real cigarettes, and then adding honey and flavors to mix them. Therefore, the taste of the cigarette is slightly lighter, slightly sweet and fragrant. At the beginning, some smokers are not used to it.

2. The current e-cigarette market is in chaos, especially the Taobao market, which is flooded with a large number of counterfeit products. Even the best-selling products do not meet the qualification requirements of the manufacturers.

3. E-cigarettes currently lack effective supervision, resulting in an uncertain future. It is very popular in Europe and the United States, but relatively cold in China.

4. Some manufacturers and sales companies have obviously exaggerated the promotion of e-cigarettes. For example, many people claim that e-cigarettes have the effect of clearing lung toxins. This is completely illegal propaganda. E-cigarettes are not even a drug, let alone a drug that can clear lung toxins. And science has also proven that e-cigarettes have no function in clearing lung toxins. Electronic cigarettes currently only serve to replace cigarettes and assist in quitting smoking.

5. The current cost of e-cigarettes is relatively high, making them difficult to popularize.

6. The quality and life of e-cigarettes are relatively time-sensitive, and the manufacturing process of e-cigarettes needs to be further improved.

Electronic cigarettes are mainly composed of three parts: a pipe containing nicotine solution, an evaporation device and a battery. When used, the nicotine solution evaporates due to heat and is inhaled into the mouth. Since nicotine is usually soluble in propylene glycol solution, smokers can also exhale white mist when smoking electronic cigarettes, achieving the effect of "puffing out smoke". According to personal preference, smokers can also add flavors such as chocolate and mint into the pipe.

For this reason, the safety of additives in e-cigarettes is a concern. The German Federal Center for Health Education pointed out that nearly 90% of the gas people inhale from e-cigarettes is propylene glycol, a chemical that can irritate the respiratory tract in a short period of time. It is not yet clear what adverse effects long-term and repeated inhalation of propylene glycol will have on the human body. In addition to the commonly known ethanol, glycerol, and flavors, American researchers have also detected carcinogens such as nitrosamines in some electronic cigarettes.

In addition, the principle of e-cigarettes is through heated liquid nicotine. The key word in this sentence is nicotine. Nicotine is harmful to your body no matter how you use it. According to researchers, nicotine constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure, which in turn puts stress on the heart. Therefore, in essence, e-cigarettes are harmful to health as they can cause heart attacks and strokes.
