Health Risks of Electronic Cigarettes

Research shows that e-cigarettes, despite being believed to be less harmful than traditional cigarettes, pose multiple health risks. These include irritation and inflammation of the lungs, an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), elevated heart rate and blood pressure, as well as potential carcinogenic risks such as lung and oral cancers. Their use has also been linked to mental health issues like depression and suicide attempts, in addition to the possibility of transmitting infections through sharing devices. Although they are less harmful than tobacco, it is advised that non-smokers avoid using them. It is important to note that the long-term risks are still under study.
