ARE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES SAFE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?
E-cigarettes are very popular with young people. Their use has grown dramatically in the
last five years. Today, more high school students use e-cigarettes than regular cigarettes. The
use of e-cigarettes is higher among high school students than adults. The question is, are they
safe?
Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes are devices that heat a liquid into an aerosol that the
user inhales. The liquid usually has nicotine and flavoring in it, and other additives.
Unfortunately, the nicotine in e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes is addictive. E-cigarettes are
considered tobacco products because most of them contain nicotine, which comes from
tobacco.
Besides nicotine, e-cigarettes can contain harmful and potentially harmful ingredients.
The first dangerous ingredient is ultrafine particles. The particles can be inhaled deep into the
lungs and may cause long term lung issues. Next, there is flavoring elements such as diacetyl, a
chemical linked to serious lung disease. Lastly, many e-cigarettes contain heavy metals, such as
nickel, tin, and lead. Those are well-known as carcinogens, chemicals that cause cancers.
Therefore, e-cigarettes are indeed not safe for consumption, especially for young people during
adolescent years.
Adolescent years are times of important brain development. Brain development begins
during the growth of the fetus in the womb and continues through childhood and to about age
25. Nicotine exposure during adolescence and young adulthood from e-cigarettes can cause
addiction and harm the developing brain. Other chemicals in e-cigarettes are also known to
damage health in both short and long term. For example, users risk exposing their respiratory
systems to potentially harmful chemicals in e-cigarettes.
