Research on e-cigarettes Nose-throat cancer risk higher than ordinary cigarettes Nose fumes This causes the septum cells to be destroyed 10 times more than a normal smoker.
On March 23, 2022 Dr. Ruengruedi Patanavanich, Lecturer, Department of Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital Now, new research from New York University, USA, assumes that e-cigarettes are more likely to develop cancer of the nose, sinus and throat than regular cigarettes. This is because most e-smokers exhale twice as much smoke through their noses as non-smokers, compared to most smokers who exhale through their mouths.
Currently, research on the dangers of e-cigarettes is constantly coming out. especially short-term health effects It refutes the myth that e-cigarette advocates often claim that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than conventional cigarettes. This claim is just a conclusion from one study that is currently not reliable. Because the study was conducted since July 2013 and is just the opinion of 12 researchers.
“At the time, there was very little research evidence on e-cigarettes. There were only 54 studies on e-cigarettes at the end of 2012, but now, until 2021, there are 10,113 studies on e-cigarettes. If the short-term effects of e-cigarettes were worse than those of regular cigarettes. So how can one believe that the long-term harm of e-cigarettes is less than that of conventional cigarettes?” Dr. Ruengruedi, MD. say
Dr. Emma Carey, researcher from the Department of Environmental Medicine New York University The study looked at different patterns of smoking and e-cigarettes. Of the 341 New York City residents for a year, 122 regular smokers, 123 e-cigarettes and 96 e-cigarettes, on average, 63% of those who smoked e-cigarettes and 50% of the people in New York City found that. smoke a hookah will blow smoke out of his nose Only 22% of people who smoked regular smoke exhaled smoke through their noses.
“The reason why people who smoke e-cigarettes tend to exhale smoke through their noses is probably due to the fact that e-cigarettes emphasize a variety of scents. This makes smokers choose to inhale through their noses rather than to smell them. Research has shown that people who smoke e-cigarettes or hookahs are more at risk of developing diseases of the nose, sinus, throat and upper respiratory tract than regular smokers. Previously, the same research team had done a study and found that The septal cells in people who smoke e-cigarettes are destroyed 10 times more than in regular smokers.” Dr. Emma say
