IS VAPING SAFER FOR LUNGS THAN SMOKING?
This vaping vs smoking debate is not ending anytime soon. The most repeated concern we hear from people who want to start vaping as an alternative is that: “We will face lung issues after vaping?”
You’ll
find the answer to this question in this blog today.
To go on with this topic we
first, need to know the actual difference between vaping and smoking.
Vaping
Vaping is an action of inhaling
and exhaling the vapour produced by any vape device. The e-liquid that is
inhaled is made up of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavours which by
the way, are all these are food-grade products that are commonly used in many
other food items and the option of nicotine.
Smoking
Smoking is the action of
inhaling and exhaling the smoke of tobacco or a drug. Many cancerous and
extremely harmful chemicals are released with burning tobacco and other drugs.
Vaping
weed is a process that is healthier than traditional smoking since burning
substances such as tobacco or marijuana create by-products that can harm the
lungs and overall health.
Now that we know what these two are, let’s see how
smoking and vaping affects our body
Smoking
Smoking affects not just one
part of your body but pretty much every single part of your body, it damages
the brain and adds the risk of getting a stroke.
It
affects your heart and adds the chances of getting a heart attack and other
heart-related illnesses. It affects your throat and stomach and adds to the
risks of getting throat cancer or stomach cancer.
Your
lungs can be very badly affected by smoking. Coughs, colds, wheezing, asthma,
pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking affects your skin and your bones
causing the dullness of your skin and easy breakage of your bones.
It
slowly and gradually makes your way to death, with the tar deposit in your oesophagus
and your lungs. All of this because of the burning process.
Vaping
Vaping on the other hand
evaporates the liquid which is made out of
food-grade products. It gives you a decent relief without damaging any part of
your body. It has nicotine that can be addictive but nicotine is simply a
choice.
We
should understand that it’s better than dying. Nicotine intake is still better
than losing a life.
What is the effect of vaping on your lungs?
If we keep it simple then,
vaping does not affect the lungs because we need to understand that while
vaping, we’re just inhaling vapours and no smoke. Vapours don’t carry massive
numbers of harmful and deadly chemicals.
But
there is one thing that needs to be kept in mind. Anything in excess is bad.
Vaping is a healthier and safer alternative to smoking.
Vaping
for that nicotine intake is perfectly fine but vaping along with smoking or
vaping too much is not sensible. It does no to very little harm to your lungs.
