Long-term smoking of e-cigarettes will lead to the risk of lung cancer.
The etiology of lung cancer is still unclear, and the causative factors mainly include smoking, air pollution, occupational exposure, ionizing radiation, etc. Among them, smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer, and about 85% of lung cancer patients have a history of smoking.
E-cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive substance, and the aerosol released after heating can also produce formaldehyde, nicotine, nitrosamines, benzene and other carcinogens, and with the power of e-cigarettes and the atomization temperature increases, the release of carcinogens grows exponentially. Therefore, long-term smoking of e-cigarettes will have the risk of lung cancer.
It is suggested that smokers should quit smoking as early as possible, have regular medical checkups, and stay away from tobacco as the key to lung cancer prevention.
