New research finds smoking E-cigarettes have a higher risk of nose and throat cancer than conventional cigarettes. More smoke coming out of the nose than the mouth More than 10,113 studies reveal e-cigarettes. Don’t believe an older 2013 study, claiming it is 95% less harmful than conventional cigarettes.
On March 23, Dr. Ruengruedi Patanavanich, a lecturer in the Department of Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital said that now, new research from New York University in the United States assumes that e-cigarettes are more likely to develop cancer of the nose, sinus and throat than regular cigarettes. This is because most e-cigarette smokers exhale twice as much smoke through their noses as non-smokers, compared to most regular smokers who exhale smoke through their mouths. continuously especially short-term health effects It refutes the myth that e-cigarette advocates often claim that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than conventional cigarettes. This claim is just a conclusion from one study that is currently not reliable. Because the study was conducted since July 2013 and is just the opinion of 12 researchers.
“At the time, there was very little research evidence on e-cigarettes. There were only 54 studies on e-cigarettes at the end of 2012, but now, until 2021, there are 10,113 studies on e-cigarettes. If the short-term effects of e-cigarettes were worse than those of regular cigarettes. So how can one believe that the long-term harm of e-cigarettes is less than that of conventional cigarettes?” said Dr. Ruengruedi, MD.
Dr. Emma Carey, researcher from the Department of Environmental Medicine New York University The study looked at smoking patterns and different e-cigarettes among 341 New York City residents for one year, comprising 122 regular smokers, 123 e-cigarettes and 96 hookas. On average, 63% of people who smoke e-cigarettes and 50% of those who smoke hookahs. will blow smoke out of his nose Only 22% of people who smoked regular smoke exhaled smoke through their noses.
“The reason why people who smoke e-cigarettes tend to exhale their noses is probably due to their focus on different scents. This makes smokers choose to inhale through their noses rather than to smell them. Research has shown that people who smoke e-cigarettes or hookahs are more at risk of developing diseases of the nose, sinus, throat and upper respiratory tract than regular smokers. Previously, the same research team had done a study and found that The endothelial cells of people who smoke e-cigarettes are destroyed 10 times more than in regular smokers,” said Dr Emma.
