Introduced for the first time in Europe in 2005, vaping is presented as an alternative to smoking and is mainly aimed at people wanting to stop smoking traditional cigarettes. However, addiction to “vapes” can cause adverse health effects.
Presented as a less harmful alternative to smoking, vaping continues to gain popularity in France with smokers looking for a way to reduce their exposure to the risks linked to cigarettes and the effects linked to combustion.
According to data published by Public health France last May, France had around 3 million “daily vapers” in 2022, or 5.5% of the population. Despite this success with smokers since its appearance in Europe in 2005, vaping can still cause harmful effects on health. In reality, it is not the product itself that can cause problems, but its containers, starting with nicotine.
In fact, certain vaping products may contain this substance which will make it more difficult to quit smoking.
Aside from addiction, nicotine is absorbed into the lungs when inhaled. Thus, it moves quickly in the blood and can, therefore, enter the brain and other organs of the body, thus increasing “in the short term blood pressure and heart rate in the minutes and hours following consumption” .
Diarrhea, breathing problems and headaches
Vaping products can also trigger throat and mouth irritation, headaches, coughing and nausea. According to a report published by The Public Health Advocate from the American University of Berkeley, and relayed by the National Institutes of Health in the United States (NIH), vape users might develop respiratory failure leading to tremors, dyspnea (sudden shortness of breath), convulsions or even vaping-associated pulmonary disease (VAPD).
Furthermore, according to LAD bible, vaping can cause numbness of the tongue or even diarrhea. Concretely, given that vaping liquids come in several ranges and flavors, some of which are very sweet, the artificial sweeteners present in the liquids can cause diarrhea if they are consumed in large quantities.
