The crackdown on e-cigarettes in Australia has been highly publicized, with new regulations requiring people over the age of 18 to obtain e-cigarettes in pharmacies, and in some cases requiring a prescription.
However, as Clare pointed out, when faced with a lack of access to e-cigarettes that they have been using for a year, two or more, young people may naturally turn to smoking out of a sense of desperation. There is.
Because the truth is that e-cigarettes are far more addictive and harmful than many of us believe.
Professor Lenny Bittoun, a leading expert on nicotine addiction, told Mama Mia in a local interview that there is an incredible amount of misinformation surrounding e-cigarettes, including the effects they have on teenagers and young adults. He said there are a lot of them.
“There are many different types of e-cigarettes on the market, but the most modern ones are very good at delivering nicotine deep into the lungs, something that never happened in the past. “Tobacco is more advanced than the old style of delivering nicotine into the upper respiratory tract,” Professor Bittoun said.
“So you pump it deep into the lungs, where the arteries and arterial blood pick up oxygen, but now they pick up nicotine instead. Now it’s incredibly efficient. The rate of delivery of nicotine is It’s huge” and that makes it even more addictive.
A world-first study published in the European Respiratory Journal in 2019 compared the effects of cigarettes and e-cigarettes on human cells. It turns out that e-cigarettes are just as toxic as cigarettes and can cause serious damage to the lungs.
