Quit Smoking by E-cigarettes Will Not Help You Treat Prostatitis
Smoking is one of the major disadvantageous factors for male patients with reproductive and urinary system diseases. Therefore, in the treatment of such diseases, patients are generally advised to quit smoking and alcohol and other bad habits. Thus, many patients begin to quit smoking through e-cigarettes. However, Don't e-cigarettes belong to tobacco products? Are they completely harmless?
Recently, the first case of electronic cigarette death occurred in the United States. In fact, many countries in the world have banned e-cigarettes. On August 23, Illinois health officials announced that an adult who smoked e-cigarettes had died of a severe respiratory disease. Illinois health authorities believe this may be the first e-cigarette fatality case in the United States.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it had noticed 193 potentially severe lung disease cases in 22 states, possibly caused by e-cigarettes smoking.
In addition to India, Philippines, Brazil, Singapore, there are more than ten countries, such as Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Thailand, Lebanon, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Egypt, which prohibit e-cigarettes. The electronic cigarette is a smoking device which contains nicotine solution pipe, evaporation device, and battery. Since its inception, it has been printed with labels such as "help quit smoking" and "an electronic cigarette is not addictive."
At the end of May 2019, the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention released the results of the 2008 China Adult Tobacco Survey. The survey found that young people were the main users of e-cigarettes, and the use rate of e-cigarettes was 1.5% in the 15-24 age group. The primary access to e-cigarettes is the Internet (45.4%). It is noteworthy that compared with 2015, the proportion of people who have heard of e-cigarettes, used e-cigarettes, and now use e-cigarettes has increased.
In July 2019, the World Health Organization released the Global Tobacco Epidemic Report 2019, which pointed out that there was no evidence that "heating non-combustible tobacco products" was less harmful than traditional tobacco products, and the use of such products might also contribute to the addiction of non-smokers. Moreover, this product still belongs to tobacco products; switching from smoking traditional cigarettes to using "heated non-burning tobacco products" is not considered smoking cessation.
However, e-cigarettes still contain nicotine, which can make people dependent and have a direct impact on the human cardiovascular system. At present, there is not enough evidence to prove that e-cigarettes can be used as a major smoking cessation aid. Clinical smoking cessation guidelines do not include it in the smoking cessation assistance products. Doctors will also not recommend that smokers use e-cigarettes to quit smoking.
In fact, the harm of e-cigarettes is not less than that of cigarettes.
1. Damage to the immune system
By comparing the immune cells in the nose of electronic cigarette users, traditional cigarette smokers and non-smokers, they found that electronic cigarette smoking inhibited 358 immune genes in the human nose, while 53 immune genes were inhibited in ordinary smokers.
2. Cardiovascular Diseases
Electronic smoke aerosols can also cause increased platelet aggregation, which may lead to micro thrombosis in blood vessels. It shows that e-cigarettes are no less harmful than traditional cigarettes in increasing the risk of the cardiovascular system and causing a heart attack.
3. A variety of cancers
The aerosols produced by battery heating flue also contain aldehydes harmful to the cardiovascular system, including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein. This can lead to a variety of cancers, including lung cancer.
4. Fatal lung disease
Another experiment found that e-cigarettes are prone to another deadly risk, occlusive bronchitis. This is a rare, fatal, and irreversible obstructive pulmonary disease, which will gradually lead to lung failure.
5. Containing bacterial toxins
In April 2019, the Harvard School of Public Health analyzed 75 mainstream e-cigarettes in the United States and found that nearly a quarter of the samples contained bacterial toxins associated with E. coli and chlamydia, and nearly 80% contained mycotoxins, which could lead to asthma, lung failure, and other diseases. The study was published online in Environmental and Health Outlook.
So for prostatitis patients who want to quit smoking by using e-cigarettes, don't try to achieve rapid results through these so-called shortcuts, it's better to quit smoking honestly. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, a balanced diet and healthy living habits should also be taken to achieve the goal of a cure. Cherish life and stay away from e-cigarettes!
