Disposable electronic cigarette sales on the Internet have become widespread. Cigarettes, which are sold in eye-catching colors and fruit flavors, are the most poisonous to children and young people. It is stated that these products produced with nicotine powder and flavored with aroma are as harmful as cigarettes.
Speaking to Haber Global, Cardiology Specialist Muhammed Keskin said, “It may not contain tobacco, but it contains heavy metals. As a result, these also leave an effect by burning, emitting smoke. They also have nicotine and it’s very harmful. It causes oxidation as it is consumed. Oxidation means cancer, vascular occlusion, fatty liver, diabetes. This oxidation is the beginning of everything. It increases the risk of stroke by 1 in 3,” he said.
“THEY ARE CONNECTED TO RESPIRATORS”
Keskin also talked about a disease that occurs with the use of electronic cigarettes, saying, “This scares us a lot. Oxygen levels drop. A progressive shortness of breath is seen and people begin to be unable to fulfill their respiratory functions without being connected to a breathing apparatus.
“WE HAVE FRIENDS USING”
The young people, whose microphone was extended, said that they tasted the electronic cigarette and said that they liked it because of its aroma, but they stopped using it when they learned that it was as harmful as cigarettes, and underlined that it was used in the circle of friends.
