As a result of national health statistics, the e-cigarette smoking rate increases for both men and women
Entered 2024.02.10 14:26 Entered 2024.02.10 14:26 Views 0 The number of people smoking electronic cigarettes is increasing for both men and women. Looking at changes in health behavior over the past 10 years, the current smoking rate has decreased, especially for men in their 40s and women in their 30s, but is still the highest among all age groups.

According to the results of the National Health Statistics (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey – 2022) released by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency in December last year, the current use rate of cigarette-type electronic cigarettes is 9.2% for men and 2.4% for women, an increase compared to 2021 (men ↑1.9%p, It was found to be ↑0.7%p). Liquid electronic cigarettes also increased slightly compared to the previous year to 5.6% for men and 1.3% for women (↑0.6%p for men, ↑0.1%p for women). Electronic cigarettes also contain carcinogens, which increases the risk of cancer just like regular cigarettes.
Although the smoking rate of regular cigarettes is decreasing… Electronic cigarettes are on the rise
The current smoking rate for regular cigarettes (cigarettes) decreased to 30.0% for men and 5.0% for women in 2022 compared to 2021 (↓1.3%p for men, ↓1.9%p for women). However, the number of people smoking e-cigarettes is increasing for both men and women. Looking at changes in health behavior over the past 10 years, the current smoking rate has decreased, especially for men in their 40s and women in their 30s, but is still the highest among all age groups.
A study showed that e-cigarette users are up to twice as likely to continue smoking as regular cigarette users. In a paper published in the Korean Journal of Family Medicine (KJFP) in December last year, this was the result of analyzing the intention to quit smoking according to the type of cigarette of 2,264 adult smokers. The risk of liquid e-cigarette users continuing to smoke was 2.1 times that of regular cigarette users, and the risk of cigarette e-cigarette users continuing smoking was 1.5 times.
Affects 30% of cancers, the most dangerous carcinogen… The same goes for electronic cigarettes
Tobacco belongs to Group 1 carcinogens designated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization (WHO). This is because numerous carcinogens contained in cigarettes directly affect the occurrence of cancer. Smoking is the most dangerous carcinogen, contributing to 30% of all cancers. Electronic cigarettes are also subject to caution as they contain carcinogens. Smokers have a 15 to 30 times higher risk of lung cancer than non-smokers. In particular, smoking while drinking alcohol increases the risk of cancer.
Even pancreatic cancer… Carcinogens spread throughout the body
Carcinogens in cigarette smoke seep into the larynx, esophagus, and lungs, as well as into the blood. It travels throughout the body and causes cancer in major organs such as stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, and cervical cancer. Smoking increases the risk of pancreatic cancer fivefold. The most dangerous factor known to date for pancreatic cancer is smoking. According to the National Cancer Information Center, one-third of pancreatic cancers are caused by smoking. Unfiltered secondhand smoke is worse. Continuous exposure to street smoking can increase the risk of not only lung cancer but also other cancers.
Smoking on the street is the worst… . “Don’t smoke while walking.”
Smoking is an important factor in vascular diseases such as macular degeneration, which increases the risk of blindness, and stroke (cerebral infarction – cerebral hemorrhage), which threatens healthy lifespan. If you cannot quit smoking even if you eat carefully and exercise, the effect will be greatly reduced. There is also analysis that the recent increase in lung cancer in women over 70 years of age is due to the past smoking freely at home (secondhand smoke). Smoking on the street on a windy day is the worst. What is the psychology of a person who freely smokes while walking? It’s scary to even imagine cigarette smoke passing through someone else’s mouth and entering my respiratory tract.
