Pulmonologist explained the most dangerous way to smoke Doctor Safonova: Tobacco heating systems are not as dangerous as cigarettes 11:12

The most dangerous tobacco products are still cigarettes and other smoking methods in which tobacco is burned, such as hookah. Electronic cigarettes and other systems for heating tobacco cause less harm to the body, but are still dangerous, Anastasia Safonova, a pulmonologist at the CMD laboratory, told socialbites.ca.

“All smokeless nicotine consumption systems are safer for humans. There are numerous studies proving this. When tobacco is burned, more than 300 substances with proven toxicity and carcinogenicity, such as aldehydes and volatile organic compounds, are released and people inhale them. According to various studies, when heated, their number decreases by 30-80%. “However, it is important to emphasize that smoking has not become safe and still causes great harm to health,” he said.

Electronic systems are distinguished by the absence of combustion and the use of low heating temperatures of approximately 250-350°C as opposed to 800-900°C during combustion. When heated, less resin, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. occurs. The truth is that this temperature is not enough for full-fledged chemical reactions that can form a large number of dangerous compounds, the pulmonologist said.

“However, the electronic heating system is still unsafe; the person still faces the risk of contracting diseases of the pulmonary system. The problem is that many people abuse this method of nicotine consumption and smoke constantly. This can lead to lung damage where the person cannot breathe. We are talking about the so-called vaping disease,” Safonova said.

According to him, scientists associate the development of the disease with inhalation of aerosols formed when heating the electronic cigarette liquid.

Previous scientists discoveredRestricting the sale of e-cigarettes does not reduce the number of smokers.
