Scientists find it difficult to say how harmful e-cigarettes are. the first year closely follows the manufacturers of electronic cigarettes, literally for a minute does not give up trying to figure out how harmful they are to person.
Until now, only one thing is known - electronic cigarettes really do harm to our body, not quite like ordinary cigarettes, but also harm.
As in ordinary cigarettes, there is nicotine, as well as a whole range of different chemical compounds, which, together with the vapor, we inhale into our lungs. Getting an accurate answer to the question - how harmful electronic cigarettes are will require more than one study, and it is likely that scientific research in this area will take years.
More recently, FDA experts have tested e-cigarettes from two major US manufacturers. The results literally shocked scientists - they found so many dangerous toxins in electronic cigarettes that could not be collected in an entire chemical plant.. Of these, scientists in the preliminary report on the study paid special attention to the following, the most dangerous substances:
- Diethylene glycol, a chemical compound found in antifreeze, is extremely toxic to humans.
- Certain types of nitrosamines are carcinogens that can potentially cause many health problems, including cancerous tumors.
- Impurities: anabasine and myosmin - which are also extremely toxic, and according to some scientists can have an extremely detrimental effect on the human prostate gland
- Nicotine has also appeared in almost every e-cigarette, even with all the advertising slogans and labels screaming "there is no nicotine here." Its content here ranged from 26.8 to 43.2 micrograms of nicotine / 100 ml of vapor - in other words, less than in a regular cigarette, but enough to be addictive.
The situation is complicated by the fact that each cigarette manufacturer adds different chemical compounds to its products, in connection with which it is still difficult to say whether all cigarettes are as harmful as the tested ones samples.
