When writing this article, the target audience I am aiming for is not vapers. Like you, I myself am also doubted by my family and relatives about the toxicity of vaping. I understand that concern, but I also understand the safety of vaping, and want to share and convince my long-time smoking father to switch to vaping. You will help yourself, as well as the health of your relatives when sharing this article. Are you brave enough?
Is vaping beneficial?
This is a question that many people who have not, are preparing to, or are using vape often wonder about, including their relatives.
The article will present arguments for readers to make their own decisions:
If you smoke traditional cigarettes, you are taking in: Nicotine + 7000 toxic substances + 60 especially harmful substances (directly affecting the body - typically CO, the main culprit causing lung cancer) + Filter cotton residue + Cigarette leaf residue.
If you vape, you are taking in : 1/10 of the amount of nicotine compared to traditional cigarettes + PG (Propylene Glycol) + VG (Vegetable glycerin)
What is PG : It is something you use every day in toothpaste, liquid medicine (cough syrup), injections. They act as solvents (environment to transmit substances in the appropriate form) in these products, recognized by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as safe for users.
What is VG : Also something you use every day, it is naturally found in vegetable oils (naturally present in sesame oil, peanut oil, coconut oil, soybean oil). People use VG to increase the moisture of baked goods. Used to thicken toothpaste and skin creams.
Why do people say vaping causes cancer: Everyone knows that eating burnt meat causes cancer, right? Scientists also show that vaping causes cancer when the cotton is burnt. And no vaper can smoke burnt cotton day after day.
Nicotine is harmful to health: Yes, but the amount of nicotine you actually absorb in a vape is 1/10 of that in a traditional cigarette.
People are afraid of things they don’t understand, what our parents and relatives say may not be true, but it contains worries for us. Each of us vapers should understand and share in the most gentle way. After all, the pioneer always has difficulties, right?
