Interestingly, a substance present in e-cigarettes, which aroused particular concern researchers were not nicotine (though its harmful effect and you have to remember), but formaldehyde. Contact with this substance has a toxic effect on the respiratory system, liver, immune system, can increase the risk of cancer. Dangerous diacetyl is also present in most e-cigarette taste, it is used also in the food industry (suitable products buttery flavor). While the use of diacetyl in food production is safe, then inhaling it for a long time can cause dangerous consequences lung disease – bronchiolitis obliterans (the only form of its ‘cure’ is a lung transplant.)
Scientists Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System admit, too, that have not been identified yet all substances with potentially carcinogenic. Also emphasized the need for further detailed study to finally confirm the effect of the compounds of e-cigarettes to DNA damage cells and the occurrence of diseases.
The fact that e-cigarettes are not a safe form of struggle with tobacco addiction, doctors and scientists resemble a long time. In 2015. Dutch National Institute for Public Health (RIVM) pointed out that inhaling contained in e-cigarettes compounds (including nicotine, propylene glycol and glycerol, nitrosamines) can irritate and damage the respiratory system, cause palpitations and increase the risk of cancer. The World Health Organization and calls for the tightening of regulations related to e-cigarettes (including a complete ban on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, and a complete ban on the use of electronic cigarettes in enclosed spaces). Poland also supports this position – the new Law on Tobacco Control to include provisions, among others, to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to persons under 18 years of age and limited in terms of their advertising and promotion.
