💨 An alternative to tobacco… not so harmless?
For years, the electronic cigarette has been presented as a “revolution” for smokers. Less harmful than tobacco? Combustion-free? With fruity aromas? At first glance, everything seemed to point to e-cigarettes as the ideal tool for reducing the risks of smoking. And yet… 🧐
More and more health professionals are sounding the alarm: vaping is not harmless. Behind the modern, technological image lies a complex product which, when inhaled repeatedly, exposes the body to chemicals that are sometimes toxic, poorly understood or poorly regulated. 🔬
Contrary to popular belief, the absence of tobacco does not mean the absence of danger. Several studies have highlighted the formation of irritant or carcinogenic compounds when e-liquids are heated, particularly at high temperatures. Formaldehyde, for example, an agent classified as a probable carcinogen, can appear during “dry hit” (overheating of the resistor).
And what about the additives used in flavorings? Although they are authorized for use in foodstuffs, inhaling them is not without consequences. The notorious diacetyl, responsible for “bronchiolitis obliterans” (nicknamed “popcorn lung”), has been found in some flavored e-liquids. 😶🌫️
To put it plainly: e-cigarettes are neither harmless nor neutral, especially when they become a daily habit, sometimes more intense than cigarettes themselves. And while it represents a potential risk reduction for adult smokers in transition, it should never be used by non-smokers, let alone teenagers.
👉 The real danger? Believing it’s safe.
⚠️ Substances of concern in e-liquids
The e-liquids used in electronic cigarettes contain a variety of chemical compounds, some of which are cause for concern. For example, studies have detected the presence of diacetyl, a substance associated with serious lung disease, in several fruity flavors. In addition, carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde can be formed when e-liquids are heated, especially at high temperatures.
🧠 Nicotine addiction is still with us
Electronic cigarettes are often referred to as a simple withdrawal tool. A palliative for getting rid of tobacco. But an essential question is often overlooked: what about nicotine? 🤔
Yes, the majority of e-liquids sold today still contain nicotine, in various forms: standard or nicotine salts, which are faster and more powerful to absorb. Result: the brain is still stimulated, the immediate pleasure is intact, and… the addiction continues.
➡️ The vapoteur may no longer smoke… but he’s still hooked.
This psychological and physical dependence, subtle but real, maintains an illusion of freedom. We think we’ve stopped, we say we’ve “weaned”, when in reality we’ve simply changed vehicles… keeping the same engine: nicotine.
Nicotine is a powerful psychoactive substance that acts on the central nervous system. It alters the heart rate, affects mood and generates a compulsive need that can last for years.
Worse still, some people go from light vaping to excessive consumption, because the gesture is more discreet, the aromas more pleasant, and the impression of danger lessened. You smoke in the morning, in the evening, in the car, in front of the TV, at work… in short, all the time. 🚬💨
🔄 The result: an even stronger addiction than with conventional cigarettes.
And this also applies to young people. Many teenagers who have never touched a cigarette in their lives start vaping e-liquids with high nicotine content, convinced that it’s safe. But the teenage brain is particularly susceptible to addiction. What starts out as a game can become an early and lasting addiction.
👶 A gateway to smoking for young people
The appeal of electronic cigarettes to teenagers is a major source of concern. The sweet, fruity flavors, combined with a perception that they are less dangerous, make these products particularly appealing to young people. Studies have shown that e-cigarette use among teenagers can increase the risk of transition to traditional smoking.
🫁 Worrying respiratory effects
Cases of vaping-associated lung disease have been reported, notably in the USA, where users have developed severe lung damage after using certain vaping products . Although these cases are often linked to products containing THC or specific additives, they highlight the potential risks to respiratory health.
🌍 Evolving regulations
In response to these concerns, international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) are calling for stricter regulation of e-cigarettes. The WHO has described these products as “unquestionably harmful” and recommends limiting their promotion, particularly among young people.
