Although the second-hand smoke produced by e-cigarettes is less harmful than that produced by traditional cigarettes, it still contains certain toxic substances, so smelling e-cigarettes also belongs to second-hand smoke, so smoking e-cigarettes should also be avoided in public places.
Hazards of e-cigarettes:
There is a lot of tar in cigarettes, but there is no tar in electronic cigarettes. The nicotine content in cigarettes is fixed, so it is generally difficult to reduce it. Nicotine contained in e-cigarettes is an additive, and the proportion can be adjusted. The solid particles produced by cigarette burning will stay in the air for more than 45 minutes, while the gas particles produced by e-cigarettes will evaporate within a few seconds.
So relatively speaking, the harm of e-cigarettes will be less. For people who can't quit smoking, we can reduce the harm of tar and other harmful substances in cigarettes by smoking electronic cigarettes, and achieve the goal of quitting smoking by continuously reducing nicotine content.
Nicotine contained in traditional cigarettes is one of the important components leading to addiction, while the components contained in e-cigarettes are controllable. Therefore, we can reduce the dependence of smokers on nicotine by controlling the nicotine content in it, so as to finally achieve the goal of quitting smoking with zero nicotine.
However, because everyone's psychological endurance is different, whether e-cigarettes can successfully quit smoking also varies from person to person. It is suggested that when quitting smoking, family members can give smokers some encouragement and use other things to divert their attention.
