Fact Sheet: Inhaling the
Less Harmful Alternative
to Smoking
MistHub
https://www.misthub.com
Dr. Laura Crotty Alexander, a pulmologist at a Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in San
Diego, explains that the vapor from e-cigarettes, while not entirely nonthreatening,
is the wiser choice compared to smoking cigarettes.
The Limited Study towards Vaping
Gerry Stimson, a scientist at Imperial College in London, states that burning
vegetable matter or tobacco leaves causes hazardous substances to be inhaled into
the lungs. Stimson explains that because e-cigarettes only use heated liquid, fewer
dangerous elements come in contact with the lungs. Additionally, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration already has recognized vaping additives as generally safe.
According to John Moxham, a professor at King’s College Hospital, the negative
feedback associated with vaping will result in a public health disaster. He says that
discouraging smokers from shiftting to vaping and instead motivating them to
continue smoking is a tragedy in the making.
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking cigarettes
leads to one out of five deaths annually in the U.S. This number includes those who
die from secondhand smoke.
The Increasing Number of Vapers
As e-cigarettes have begun to earn a reputation as a healthier substitute to
smoking, and as an aid in quitting smoking cigarettes, their popularity has boomed
worldwide. In contrast to cigarettes, vaping is not restricted by age. This is why
1.78 million students from grade 6 to 12, who may have chosen cigarettes if given
no alternative, have used the devices in 2012.
The Recommendations from Medical Experts
Dr. Michael Siegel MD, a professor at Boston University School of Public Health, is a
known supporter of e-cigarettes. His view is that vaping can greatly reduce the
amount of harm brought about by tobacco use, explaining that he believes the
movement supporting tobacco is intended to mislead the public. Dr. Siegel says
that the claims about the hazards of vaping are incorrect.
