Electronic cigarettes are harmful to the lungs

Smoking of electronic cigarettes has a harmful effect on the human lungs. This conclusion was reached by scientists who conducted research at Harvard University. The reason for such harmful influence lies in the artificial flavors present in electronic cigarettes. In particular, in the liquid used for aromatization, there is diacetyl, which has a harmful effect on the lungs.

This study helped to finally answer the question concerning whether the smoking of electronic cigarettes is harmful. Scientists have established that they can not be called harmless. The greatest danger is the chemical flavor used in electronic cigarettes.

Approximately 75% of cases use diacetyl, related to substances that cause lung disease. In particular, diacetyl can lead to the development of a disease called "light popcorn".This same substance can be used in cupcakes and in the production of cotton candy. Also, the combination of diacetyl is sometimes used in some sweets as a substitute for butter.

This chemical, used in the production of flavored gadgets designed to get rid of bad habits, can lead to the development of obliterating bronchitis. If this substance is present in food, which is used infrequently, then diacetyl does not pose a health hazard.

If this chemical is inhaled over a long period of time( as is the case with electronic cigarettes), this can cause the development of "light popcorn".This disease is also called "corn disease" and it is often found in workers of factories producing popcorn. At the heart of this disease is obstructive bronchitis. At such enterprises, measures have already been taken to protect the health of employees.

Under the influence of diacetyl in the lungs, the inflammatory process begins, which ends with scarring. This leads to a significant reduction in the lungs of the airways, which reduces the ability of this organ to conduct air. The most difficult in this situation is that this disease is incurable. Therefore, it remains only to adopt this information and take into account the possible harm to those people who are trying to get rid of the disastrous habit by using electronic cigarettes.
