Electronic cigarettes (wakes) were initially positioned as a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes. However, studies suggest that the wakes are also harmful. As marks «VistaNews. RU », employees of the University of Pittsburgh are convinced: the wakes contribute to the development of this nicotine addiction. According to statistics, 50% of those who used electronic cigarettes became smokers, according to the Mood And carried out the experiment this confirmed. Scientists have collected groups of approximately 1,000 people of different ages. It turned out that more than half of the people who regularly used wakes for various times tried the real cigarettes. Moreover, this was true even for those who had not previously encountered nicotine. Therefore, scientists believe that the turnover of wakes should be regulated in the same way as conventional cigarettes.

At the same time, scientists at the University of California at Berkeley warn that wakes are free to smoke in public places, exposing others to formaldehyde, causing cancer, and acrolein, which irritates the eyes and skin. These findings were made by observing three people at a bar and measuring the level of toxic substances. Experts have established that the concentration of toxic compounds emitted by a vapper into the environment far exceeds the safe indicators.

The level of consumption of formaldehyde at 100 puffs with a wipe per day is greater than that of a person who smokes a day 10 ordinary cigarettes. Formaldehyde - a substance used in embalming bodies, increases the risk of leukemia, brain cancer with regular exposure. In electronic cigarettes, formaldehyde, like acrolein, is released by heating propylene, glycol and glycerin, which are part of the liquid for electronic cigarettes.

Although the vapors from the veins dissolve rather quickly, in bars, the level of formaldehyde is such that it can cause anemia and lead to damage to the ovaries. Another harmful compound is diacetyl. It is a chemical used to aromatize many electronic cigarettes and is accused of provoking incurable lung damage.
