Studies are Trickling Out on E-Cigs and…..Yikes
So the evidence is beginning to trickle out to confirm what we kinda already knew. Those cool vapes and E-Cigs with all the flavors and good smells may not be the best alternative to smoking. IN FACT, take a gander at the comment below:
In a study published in January 2015 in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that the lifetime cancer risk of using e-cigarettes long term is estimated to be 5 to 15 times higher than that of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, due to the toxic substance formaldehyde in the e-cig vapor.
I mean you really cant be surprised here, technically by inhaling chemicals at high temperatures your causing inflammation of the lungs thus triggering the immune system to respond(just like cigarettes) . Damage is being done whether it’s cigarettes, vape’s, E-cigs, and even pollution to that matter (why do you think you see all the Chinese people walking around with germ masks on).
The scary thing here is the fact that unlike cigarettes a lot of the vape flavors are fucking awesome, they taste good and they give you your nicotine fix. Its a win-win for a lot of smokers out there and has definitely gotten the attention of a lot of kids. Hell, it makes people who never smoked in their lives want to give it a try. Think about it, remember the first time you tried a cigarette…..it was horrible? Feel free to be a tough guy/gal and say you liked it because I know you didn’t. You most likely took one puff, tried to inhale and hyper-looped(shout-out to Elon) right over to cough city USA. Now there are a lot of reasons that people can get hooked on the death sticks that we wont get into here but all signs point to the “recommended” alternative to be just as bad. The recent move from Phillip Morris saying they want to stop selling cigarettes in the UK and focus on “less harmful” alternatives (E-Cigs and Vapes) instead is a classics “Evil Empire” diabolic move. They’re making a big time pivot to position themselves for the future of addictive smoking AND looking commendable for basically coming out against cigarettes. Vapes technically give people the same cigarette affect without the nasty taste. I’m surprised 90% of high school students aren’t hooked
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published in August 2014 in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research found that the numbers of middle school and high school kids on e-cigarettes tripled from 2011 to 2013.
In 2016 lawmakers passed a law that you need to be 19 to purchase any E-Cigarette products……Problem solved, Bravo Washington Bravo. I was buying beer at 15 with a homemade fake ID (consisting of a paper photo copy of my brothers fake ID, glued onto my high school ID card). It Scanned. Teenagers have the magical skill to bypass being idiots for a hot second to find ways to get their hands on something their technically not supposed to have.
So kids listen up. Don’t Smoke Dope Cigs E-Cigs…. Smoke clowns on the B-Ball court
