We will explore that and what is the current research around vaping?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A note to smokers<\/strong> &#8230; you definitely need to stop smoking, there is a 50% chance it will kill you.  Using a nicotine replacement therapy such as gum or patches has been shown to be more effective than going cold turkey, especially when used in conjunction with medical support and accountability.  So where do nicotine vapes fit with that?  It depends on the dose of nicotine in the vape and how often it is used.  Some vapes have much higher nicotine amounts than cigarettes and some people find themselves using it a lot more often than cigarettes.  Cigarettes of course contain a lot of other harmful chemicals, not just nicotine, so that&#8217;s a good swap right?  Well, let&#8217;s be honest here&#8230; nicotine is known to be a tumour promoter, so if you have the start of any tumours, perhaps from years of smoking, and you use high amounts of nicotine it may increase growth rate and recurrence rate of those tumours. The idea of a nicotine replacement therapy is to ease you off nicotine addiction, reducing withdrawal side effects.  The aim is not to simply swap from cigarettes to long-term vaping.  On top of that a professor from NYU noticed DNA changes in mice that were exposed to nicotine vapes.  His initial experiments showed that nicotine actually induced lung cancer in mice when there was none there before.  This would mean that nicotine was carcinogenic.  More studies are needed in this area.<br \/>\nTo be clear &#8211; if you&#8217;re smoking you are having nicotine plus lots of harmful chemicals.  Seek medical support to quit, even if you&#8217;ve tried before, try again.  By the time I was 12 years old I had lost all four of my grandparents to smoking related illnesses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1-550x314.jpg\" alt=\"vaping lies howtocookthat\" width=\"550\" height=\"314\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-136679\" data-wp-pid=\"136679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1-550x314.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1-1536x878.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1-400x229.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/H2CT_young_lady_in_cage_vaping_a1ccd88a-f9ff-4a54-ac73-78a764988797-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>To non-smokers who are vaping or thinking about it<\/strong>&#8230;   Many of the vaping companies are owned by tobacco companies.  They know what they are doing.  Promoting and selling a highly addictive product is a money maker for them that can replace the declining cigarette market.  If you choose to vape you are volunteering to pay money to tobacco companies to be their human lab rats.  You are part of the experiment on the long term effects of vaping on human lungs.  Just say no thanks, you&#8217;re smarter enough to know that&#8217;s a bad deal.<\/p>\n<p>Already addicted?  Sixty percent of people who vape say they want to quit.  Seek help, having support and counselling during the process of weaning off a nicotine addiction can help you succeed.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>TGA tests vaping products in Australia<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.tga.gov.au\/testing-nicotine-vaping-products<\/p>\n<p>2,3-pentanedione causes lung injury if inhaled<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/docket\/archive\/pdfs\/NIOSH-189\/0189-020911-Hallagan_sub.pdf<\/p>\n<p>Acetoin<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31377138\/<\/p>\n<p>Benzaldehyde<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/thorax.bmj.com\/content\/71\/4\/376<\/p>\n<p>Cinnamaldehyde<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2018\/05\/180523172310.htm<\/p>\n<p>CDC lung injury from vaping<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/severe-lung-disease.html<\/p>\n<p>Effectiveness of vaping for quitting smoking<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/tobaccocontrol.bmj.com\/content\/early\/2022\/01\/11\/tobaccocontrol-2021-056901<\/p>\n<p>nicotine comparison cigarettes<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33762429\/<\/p>\n<p>worldwide vaping stats<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.tobaccoinaustralia.org.au\/chapter-18-harm-reduction\/indepth-18b-e-cigarettes\/18b-3-extent<\/p>\n<p>US vaping in teens<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/71\/ss\/ss7105a1.htm?s_cid=ss7105a1_w<\/p>\n<p>Quick Facts on the Risks of E-cigarettes for Kids, Teens, and Young Adults<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/Quick-Facts-on-the-Risks-of-E-cigarettes-for-Kids-Teens-and-Young-Adults.html#two<\/p>\n<p>EVALI<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/basic_information\/e-cigarettes\/severe-lung-disease.html<\/p>\n<p>Electronic cigarette explosion\/burn and poisoning related emergency department visits, 2018-2019<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33041151\/<\/p>\n<p>750 page report from 2018<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/nap.nationalacademies.org\/download\/24952<\/p>\n<p>mice lung cancer<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/10.1073\/pnas.1911321116<\/p>\n<p>moon shong tang interview<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/cheddar.com\/media\/e-cigarettes-are-harmful-says-lead-researcher-of-study-linking-vaping-to-cancer-in-mice<\/p>\n<p>nicotine cancer study<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fonc.2015.00196\/full<\/p>\n<p>Electronic-cigarette smoke induces lung adenocarcinoma and bladder urothelial hyperplasia in mice<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/10.1073\/pnas.1911321116<\/p>\n<p>cdc tobacco use<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/71\/ss\/ss7105a1.htm?s_cid=ss7105a1_w<\/p>\n \n<h4 align=center>My Cookbook<\/h4>\n<p align=center>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cook-crazy-sweet-creations-cookbook-ann-reardon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"40%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hardcover-book-mockup-of-a-woman-reading-3409-el1.png\" alt=\"ann reardon crazy sweet creations cookbook\" title=\"Crazy Sweet Creations Cookbook\" style=\"opacity: 0.8; -moz-opacity: 0.8;\" class=\"fade\" \/><\/a>\n<\/br>\nStores that sell my book listed by country:  \n<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook<\/a>\n<\/br>\nAll recipe quantities in the book are in grams, ounces and cups.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/debunking-vaping-lies\/\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vaping-danger-150x150.jpg\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vaping-danger-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vaping-danger-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vaping-danger-1200x1200-cropped.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/vaping-danger-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-wp-pid=\"136673\" \/><\/a><p>&nbsp; Can you make cotton candy in a blender?
