Lumalaking pamilya sa Pinas ang mga Vaper o yung mga nag-quit na sa paninigarilyo at niyakap

ang konsepto ng Vape o electronic gadget na lalagyan mo ng e-juice at battery operated upang
magbuga rin ng usok na tulad din ng sigarilyo.

Nanahimik ang sektor na ito nang bigla silang napansin ng Department of Health at binalaan na
posibleng ipagbawal din ito o i-regulate tulad ng paninigarilyo.

Actually, ako bilang isa sa punong mangangalap ng balita sa ABS-CBN, ang matagal nang curious
kung anong ingredient meron ang e-juice.

Kung ito ba ay may masamang epekto sa kalusugan o baka naman mas malala pa ang epekto nito
kumpara sa addictive na nicotine content ng yosi.

Ang tagal bago umaksyon ang DOH upang ito ay mapag-aralan o magsiyasat man lang.

Hindi pinansin ang Vapers community hanggang sa ito ay lumaki. Status symbol na ang
pagkakaroon ng Vape ngayon maging ng mga teenager na can afford kumbaga dahil ibat ibang
vape gadgets na ang lumabas sa merkado at Im telling you hindi ito cheap huh! May mga gadget na
lampas beinte mil ang halaga pero balewala ito sa mga rich kid na vapers.

Payabangan na ngayon ng gamit mong vape, the more expensive the better.

At dahil under attack ngayon ang Vapers community una sa issue ng ano ba ang ingredients ng E-
juice at ano ba ang epekto sa kalusugan ng usok na binubuga mula sa battery operated gadget.

Sa ginawa nating simpleng pagsisiyasat, nalaman ko na isang small scale testing ang isinagawa sa
New Zealand at ang resulta nito napatunayang very safe relative to cigarettes ang mga Vaper na
naglipana ngayon.

Pangalawa, ang E-Liquids o E-juice ay may sangkap na food grade na Propylene Glycol, food grade
flavoring, pharmaceutical grade nicotine na optional, at tubig.

Ang Propylene Glycol ay ginagamit upang siyang magbuga ng vapor o usok. Ito ay ginagamit din sa
cosmetics, toiletries, food colorings, cake mixes, salad dressings, soft drinks at iba pa.

Ang Propylene Glycol ay idineklara na ng FDA na generally recognized as safe

Ang isa pang variety ng E-juice ay VG E-Liquids na nagtataglay ng food grade Vegetable Glycerin,
food grade flavoring, pharmaceutical grade nicotine, at water
Ang Vegetable Glycerin ay ginagamit din sa 1500 applications, karamihan ay sa pagkain at drinks.
So there you are. Food based po ang ingredient ng e-juice kung ito ay tunay.

Pero paano kung sa dami na ngayon ng bumibitaw sa yosi at lumilipat na sa Vape ay magsamantala
naman ang mga negosyante at gumawa ng e-juice na kung anu-ano ang ginamit na kemikal sa
pagtimpla at hindi food based ang ingredients. Dito na papasok ang regulation.

Magduda kapag ang e-juice na mabibili ay sobrang mura.

Alaming mabuti saan galing at sino ang gumawa ng e-juice na nabili.

Yun ganun! Sa panig naman ng mga Vapers na Im sure taas ang kilay dahil sa bigla na lang
pakikialam ng DOH. Well, kung anu-ano ang teorya na aming narinig mula sa kanila.

Ang nagkakaisa nilang pananaw dito ay posible raw na may gumagalaw na maimpluwensya at
makapangyarihan na nasasaktan paglaganap ng Vape bilang alternatibo sa smoking.

PAANO MATITIGIL ANG

PANINIGARILYO?
Ang paninigarilyo na tumutukoy sa paghithit ng sinusunog na dahon ng tabako ay bahagi na
ng buhay ng tao magmula pa noong mga panahon na dinidiskubre pa lamang ang Pilipinas.
Bagaman hindi na bago sa pandinig na ang paninigarilyo ay tiyak na makakasama sa
kalusugan, at maaari pang maiugnay sa ilang mga malulubhang sakit sa baga, tila
nahihirapan talaga ang mga indibidwal na umiwas sa ganitong gawain lalo na kung itoy
nakasanayan na.
Ang hirap sa pag-iwas sa paninigarilyo ay maaaring isisi sa substansyang taglay ng mga
sigarilyo. Ang nikotina o nicotine ay isang kemikal na maaaring makuha sa bawat paghithit
sa sigarilyo, at sadiyang nakahuhumaling at hahanaphanapin sa oras na makaabot sa utak.
Sa madaling salita, ito ay nakaka-adik.
Kaya naman ang tanong ngayon, paano makakaiwas sa paninigarilyo at paano malalabanan
ang adiksyon sa nikotina? Ating alamin ngayon sa Kalusugan.Ph
What is an E-cigarette?
** An E-cigarette is an electronic and battery
powered devicethat simulate smoking like a
regular cigarette (analog). It provides inhaled
doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. It
is also called PV or PERSONAL VAPORIZER. Its vapor
acts much like tobacco smoke, allowing long time smokers an
alternative that can be inhaled and
exhaled like traditional smoking.

What are the main parts on an E-cigarette or

PV?
** There are 3 main parts namely the Battery (or
body with battery inside of a PV mod), the
Atomizer, and the Cartridge. Battery supplies power
to the atomizer. An atomizer is the part where the
heating coil is located. This burns and heat the juice
you put in it or on your cartridge which will produce a decent
amount of vapor that look like
the real cigarette. A Cartridge is where you put the
liquid and is usually stuffed with polyfill (a sponge-
like material like an aquarium filter) inside. You will
then attach it to your atomizer and this serves as
your cigarette tip / mouthpiece.

1. BATTERY
This is the largest and, in my opinion, the most
important of the three component. Most can be
recharged using a number of different devices like
wall charger, car adapter, and USB chargers. For best results choose
a push button battery. This
allows you full control of the amount of vapor
produced with each puff. The manual batteries last
just as long or longer than the automatics and
perform twice as well. The automatic version is not
recommended.

2. ATOMIZER
This is the small center piece that actually creates
the vapor and the heating coil is placed in it. Most e-
cigarette companies use similar atomizers. With the exception of the
built in or disposable
versions, all atomizers require some minor cleaning
and maintenance to maintain optimum
performance. Clean, store and use as
recommended and this component is basically fail
proof. Most atomizers last about a month if used regularly, or longer
if used casually.

3. CARTRIDGE
Its the small piece on the end that looks and acts
somewhat like the filter of a traditional cigarette.
One end slips into the atomizer and the other has a
tiny hole that allows you to draw the vapor out. This unit contains a
fiber that holds the flavored
nicotine liquid. You can buy pre-filled or empty
cartridges that can be filled using the refill liquids.
The e-liquids come in a variety of flavors and
honestly, many brands and flavors are similar in
terms of quality.

Does it taste different than a real cigarette?

** The Smoke you inhale is VAPOR so it feels
slightly different but the taste and sensation is very
similar to smoke, as it is warm and fills your lungs
the same. You can get special flavors as well to
simulate your cigarette, but obviously it will never
be 100% the same. Which is probably good.

Do I need to have more than one e-cigarette?

** This really depends on you. As with all
electronics, malfunctions can happen. Can you be
ok for a few days waiting for replacement parts or
warranties to be fulfilled? If not I suggest a second
one, however you can also just carry replacement
parts with you as well or have them on hand so you never find
yourself in a bad state of withdrawal
and the need to go back to regular cigarettes. Either
you can look to the place you purchased your e-
cigarette for backup parts.

What are e-liquids or e-juices?

** E Liquid is the term used to describe the nicotine
that is in electronic cigarette cartridges. Many of the
electronic cigarette manufacturers cartridges are
not meant to be refilled, however, many people
choose to refill their old e-cig cartridges instead of
continuing to purchase new ones to reduce waste and minimize
cost. You can also find e liquid in a
greater number of flavors than what your
manufacturer may sell. When e liquid is dripped
onto your e-cig atomizer directly, the act is referred
to as dripping.

Electronic cigarettes offer you a completely

different smoking experience. This experience
comes with many benefits. Some of these benefits
include: No second hand smoke, so you can smoke
anywhere No tar, carcinogens or other harmful additives No odor or
teeth stains E cigs are non flammable so they are safer to
smoke indoors Electronic cigarettes are more cost effective than
traditional cigarettes Smokeless cigarettes are healthier than
traditional
cigarettes Electronic cigs are more eco-friendly than
traditional cigarettes Electric cigs are more convenient and offer
more
flavor options than traditional cigarettes
