E-cigarettes and vaping devices: A look at serious health hazards

Live Mint  

In today’s world fraught with numerous vested interests, it is extremely important to be aware of the right sources of information and also posses the ability to distinguish what is right and wrong. Mothers Against Vaping, a united front of concerned mothers combatting the escalating vaping crisis among youth, has highlighted major health risks associated with vaping. The chemicals in these products pose a significant risk to oral health, leading to issues like gum disease, tooth decay and oral infections. Consuming new-age tobacco products during pregnancy poses serious risks to fetal health, significantly increasing the chances of adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and developmental complications in new-borns. Another health hazard is that alternative tobacco products could act as a gateway to more severe addictions like cocaine and heroin.
