E-Cigarettes Are Just As Bad For You – New Study

 

In this first scientific study that addresses the detrimental effect of e-smoking; it appears that this form of smoking is still causing damage to your teeth and gums. E-cigarettes are still growing in popularity with former smokers and young adults because it’s believed that it’s a healthier way for smokers to continue smoking.

Previously, scientists blamed the chemicals within the cigarette smoke for the adverse effects in health. However, current findings suggest otherwise.
Not only have they discovered that the vapor from e-cigarettes cause cells to release inflammatory proteins, but the damage could lead to many different oral diseases.

As with normal cigarettes, it depends on how often you smoke your e-cigarette that will determine the amount of damage you end up with in your mouth. The study also takes into account that the various flavoring chemicals can cause more harm than others. This means certain flavorings in your e-cigarette can cause much more serious damage than others might.

The study will continue so that researchers can determine the complete extent of the damage that can be caused by using e-cigarettes. Smokers of e-cigarettes should be warned that even though you’re not smoking a real cigarette, you’re still exposing your mouth to the same risks as the real thing.
