DANGER OF VAPING
Introduction
Vaping refers to the inhaling of a vapor produced by an electronic e-cigarette (electronic
cigarette) or other vaping device. On the other hand, e-cigarettes represent battery-powered
smoking devices. E-cigarettes contain a liquid that normally contains flavorings, chemicals, and
nicotine (Mensah 89). Besides nicotine, electronic cigarettes contain harmful ingredients such as
ultrafine particles. Electronic cigarettes also contain flavorants for example diacetyl which
causes lung disease. This paper discusses the danger of vaping
Vaping has risks, irrespective of what an individual vape. The use of e-cigarettes
increases an individual risk of overwhelming health effects. The research study conducted by
Food and Drug Administration shows that use of a flavored product may lead to the consumption
of tobacco among teenagers. Other researchers argue that young people who consume a nicotine-
delivery product, for example, e-cigarettes have higher chances of using traditional tobacco
products such as cigarettes. The nicotine contained in many e-cigarettes is addictive and also
puts the health of teenagers at risk. Since the brain is not fully developed in young children, the
use of nicotine may cause lasting behavioral as well as cognitive impairments, for example,
interrupted the development of attention, challenges of learning as well as increased vulnerability
to addiction. Some researchers argue that nicotine mixed with a developing brain may cause
addiction, reduced impulse control as well as mood disorders (Kozlowski, Lynn and Gregory

113). Also, nicotine negatively affects the prefrontal cortex, part of the brain responsible for
decision making, attention, planning as well as judgment.
Another danger of vaping is that some of the ingredients in electronic cigarette aerosol
are harmful to the lungs. Many researchers argue that vaping increases inflammation in the lung
(Manolis and Theodora 69). Also, vaping increases the risk of contracting infection, such as
pneumonia. The chemical pneumonia has been linked to e-cigarettes. Other research studies also
show that Vaping can increase the risk of wheezing as well as other respiratory symptoms
Preliminary research shows that vaping may cause dangers to people’s heart health. The
e-liquid aerosols comprise particulates, nicotine, as well as aldehydes. When inhaled, the
aerosols can easily affect the heart as well as the circulatory system (Hawkes 45). The report
from NAP (National Academies Press) found substantial evidence that inhaling a puff from e-
cigarette causes an increase in heart rate. The report also indicated that the use of e-cigarettes
could also increase blood pressure. Both could negatively affect heart health.
In conclusion, It is true that E-cigarettes can negatively affect the life of both the kids and
adults. Vaping, smoking of tobacco products or any drugs are indeed harmful to human health.
