A recent report from The Guardian
reveals some extremely important news for people who are looking to
quit smoking. Japanese scientists have recently announced that
e-cigarettes contain 10 times the level of cancer-causing carcinogens
than its counterpart in the tobacco world. At one time, e-cigarettes
were touted as the answer to smoking without the complication of so many
dangers.
The electronic nicotine products have increased in popularity with
many believing that they are receiving a hit of nicotine without the
health damage of a normal cigarette that is laden with chemicals.
However, the research commissioned by the Japanese Ministry of Health found formaldehyde and acetaldehyde carcinogens in the liquid produced by a number of e-cigarette products, a health ministry official stated.
The group also learned that e-cigarettes can fuel potentially life-threatening drug-resistant pathogens. This is based on lab study
where they tested e-cigs vapor on live methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and human cells.
The formaldehyde carcinogen was found to be much more present in the
e-cigarette liquids than in the chemicals used in regular cigarettes,
according to the official.
