Think vaping is cool? Doctor explains 3 reasons why it can be even more harmful than smoking cigarettes
Dr. Kunal Sood explains why vaping is more harmful than smoking due to unpredictable nicotine levels, social acceptance, and increased disease risk.Summary
While vaping is often perceived as a safer and cooler alternative to smoking due to its lack of odour and variety of flavours, Dr. Kunal Sood warns that it may be even more harmful. He outlines three key reasons for this: first, the nicotine content in vapes is highly unpredictable and can exceed that of cigarettes, leading to higher addiction rates and increased heart rate and anxiety; second, the social acceptance of vaping removes the need to step away to designated areas, resulting in prolonged exposure that increases the risk of lung injury; and third, the chemicals inhaled can cause tissue damage, scarring, and cancer, while also negatively affecting sleep quality. The article emphasizes that vaping is not a safe substitute for tobacco and urges readers to be aware of these serious health risks.
