Research into the harmful effects, addiction and use of electronic cigarettes

Beyond the flavours and tastes, as a responsible brand we show the facts, challenges and also a positive outlook on the role vaping can play in finding alternatives to tobacco use, especially for those looking to quit smoking.

Expanded topic:

1. Minimal focus on chemicals: Unlike tobacco use, there is no material combustion in vaping. Instead, a liquid is heated to produce inhalable vapour, minimising the presence of harmful chemicals.
2. Range of nicotine content: Although many vaping liquids contain nicotine, it is important to point out that there are also nicotine-free variants that are addictive. It should be borne in mind that nicotine can have harmful effects on the circulatory and cardiac systems.
3. Variety of flavours and chemical compounds: Vaping liquids can contain a wide variety of flavours and other chemical compounds. While they are approved for consumption, there is still uncertainty about the long-term effects of inhaling these elements, which requires a deeper understanding.

Extended contraindications:

1. Risk of addiction: The nicotine contained in many vaping liquids can lead to addiction, similar to conventional tobacco.
2. Effects on brain development: The consumption of nicotine during adolescence can impair brain development and lead to cognitive and attention-related problems.
3. Breathing considerations: Although vaping is considered potentially less harmful than smoking tobacco, the possibility of irritating the lungs and causing respiratory problems should not be neglected, especially with low-quality products or impure liquids.
4. Hypersensitivity and allergic reactions: It is important to know that some people are sensitive or allergic to ingredients in vaping liquids, which can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, inflammation or skin rashes.
5. Concerns about long-term harm: Despite the relative novelty of vaping studies, there are concerns about potential long-term harm with continued use, emphasising the importance of ongoing research in this area.

Positive outlook:

It is important to emphasise that vaping has become a recognised tool for those who want to quit smoking. For heavy smokers, vaping can provide a way to gradually reduce nicotine intake. This harm reduction function has been recognised as a valid and accepted approach on the road to smoking cessation. Looking on the positive side, it must be recognised that for some, vaping is an effective means of reducing nicotine dependence and transitioning to a healthier lifestyle.
