There is much out there about the cigarette industry. There is much out there about SNUS. There is much out there about the relative risks. There is a poverty of knowledge about vaping. Of course vaping is quite new, nebulizers with PG or VG have been with us over 60 years- just not with nicotine as the inhalant. To date there has been no definitive answer to vaping nicotine and its effect. There are scatterred and at times contredictory articles and many self reported success stories. Vaping lacks the research needed and by several accounts attempts to undertake these studies have been blocked on moral and ethical grounds by IRB's (Investigational Review Boards) and the FDA. The inhalation of tobacco smoke is a known health hazard. R.J, Reynold's own Mission Statement reads:
And of significant self-disclosure- nicotine not shown to be a significant health risk. It is the inhaled smoke that is damaging.
Vaping is nicotine without the smoke. Yet it is scrutinized for many reasons. I remember in a Woody Allen movie the comment that nicotine was healthy it was the presentation that killed you. The above is an apologist's rendering, brilliantly written. Let us hope that the vaping community can come together and create a document as such (without apology), create a venders organization that can guide the industry into some standardization and use truths and accuracy as its content.
I pray that we start and that we go all the way.
In other words:
Yes our products kill, but we are working on it.And of significant self-disclosure- nicotine not shown to be a significant health risk. It is the inhaled smoke that is damaging.

I pray that we start and that we go all the way.

ReplyDeleteNICOTINE AND THE HEART
ReplyDeleteImpact on Heart Nicotine gets easily absorbed into the blood. As the blood is circulated through all the organs of the body, it can very easily penetrate into each and every cell of the body part. Heart, as the center for blood circulation, receives blood from different body parts through a network of veins and arteries (blood vessels). the nicotine present in the blood damages the walls of arteries by increasing the fatty build ups. it also increases bad cholesterol in blood vessels, blocking the free flow of blood in them.
Therefore, the free flow of blood to heart is obstructed and it consequently results in heart strokes, which are very lethal. Accumulation of unnecessary fatty tissues may also lead to the development of chronic heart diseases.
other major body parts which are affected by Nicotine consumption are lungs. it reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of lungs resulting in a conflict in demand and supply for oxygen in the cells of body, which leads to death or impairment of cells.
Increased heart beat: A dangerous development for people with a pre-existing heart condition or disease or labile hypertension. Nicotine beats the heart to an unusual 20 beats more per minute sending shock waves to an already strained heart. The end result might be a heart attack.
Increased blood pressure: Nicotine puts your blood pressure into over-drive. This is alarming for people with a heart condition or disease.
Strokes
Nicotine can damage active brain cells which directly affect brain function and prevent blood flow to the brain that can cause a stroke.

ReplyDeleteNicotine is a deadly poison that is extremely addictive and should be banned....
Nicotine can promote tumor growth, there have also been studies that counter that opinion. Pancreatic tumors once initiated may grow more rapidly. As for inducing tumor production on it's own- there we have a crossing of science. As the addiction to nicotine, please read some on the MAOI inhibitors in Tobacco smoke and look at their addictive time frame. And check out Boston University Department of Public Health. Also the New Zealand studies on levels of nicotine in vaping. Additionally Snus and lozenge data. Nowhere have I said Nicotine is 100% safe. Harm reduction deals with decreasing the risk- not ending it.
