E-cigs ‘definitely’ less harmful than smoking

“E-cigarettes are “definitely” less harmful than smoking tobacco, health bodies in Scotland have stated for the first time.

NHS Health Scotland said it wanted to “clarify” confusion around the harms and benefits of vaping devices.

More than 20 organisations have signed up to the consensus, which was led by NHS Health Scotland.

But health chiefs said that using e-cigarettes while still smoking did not provide any health benefits.

The consensus statement, published by Scotland’s national health education and promotion agency, was agreed by the Scottish government, health boards, academia and charities such as the British Lung Foundation and Cancer Research UK.

Dr Andrew Fraser, director of public health science at NHS Health Scotland, told BBC Scotland: “E-cigarettes have been around for a number of years now and we are learning more and more about them but I think it is safe to say that they are a lot safer than cigarettes.

“If we are trying to help people make a decision about giving up smoking tobacco then e-cigarettes are a good option to consider.

 

“There is now agreement that vaping e-cigarettes carries less risk than smoking tobacco,” she said.

“Although we still don’t know the long-term health effects of vaping, we can be confident that any smoker switching entirely to e-cigarettes will be taking in far fewer cancer-causing chemicals.

“Tobacco is lethal and I’d encourage anyone who smokes to find a way of quitting that works for them, which could include using e-cigarettes, and to make use of the free NHS stop-smoking support available to help.”

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has said that nicotine has an “amazing effect” on anti-aging. Can electronic cigarettes prevent aging?

On February 17, a paper published by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in the internationally renowned academic journal Nature pointed out that nicotine has a systemic anti-aging effect, and long-term intake of low-dose nicotine can effectively delay aging.

Research shows that nicotine has an “amazing direct effect” in improving the level of NAD+. This means that nicotine has a systemic anti-aging effect and can significantly reduce the aging symptoms of brain, heart and other tissues.

However, in order to exert the anti-aging effect of nicotine, “long-term” and “micro” conditions are indispensable. Take specific products for example, e-cigarettes with lower nicotine content may help users delay aging, while cigarettes with higher nicotine content may not be effective, or even have adverse effects.
