Many clove cigarette smokers (tobacco) switch to electric cigarettes. The pretext there are let the present, but there is also considered electrically okok (vape) is healthier. Is it right? Wrong! According to Dr. Agus Susanto, the electric cigarette (vape) SP is just as good as conventional cigarettes, still containing carcinogens.
Carcinogens are substances that cause cancer. Carcinogenic substances cause cancer by altering deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the body's cells, and this interferes with biological processes. In addition to containing carcinogenic substances, electric cigarettes also contain materials that are oxidative.
In order to commemorate the world's tobacco-free day that fell on May 31, the Indonesian Society of Doctors of the Pulmonary (PDPI) in collaboration with Persahabatan Hospital Jakarta, emphasized the importance of harm and the impact of smoking on health.
Today, cigarettes are not only conventional cigarettes, but also electric cigarettes or known as vape. Vape is a device that uses electricity from battery power to deliver nicotine in the form of steam. therefore, as with conventional cigarettes, vape still contains carcinogens and oxidative materials, in addition to nicotine.
PPDI also asked the government to immediately make regulations on vape control, because so far the circulation has been massive in the community, but without adequate education.
Well, choose where: vape or tobacco, Indonesian tobacco products, vape many imports but both remain dangerous for health ..
