According to the Russian media "Russia Today" on April 29th, health experts remind that the dry cough caused by the use of electronic cigarettes is very different from the phlegm caused by traditional tobacco. The user manual for e-cigarettes also clearly warns against this common phenomenon and specifically reminds first-time e-cigarette users who have just quit traditional tobacco.
Peter Hayek, a renowned researcher and professor in the field of e-cigarettes at Queen Mary University in London, said that "e-cigarette coughing" usually disappears after a few weeks of use.
Electronic cigarettes allow people to inhale nicotine vapor, which is produced by heating electronic liquids typically containing propylene glycol, glycerol, spices, and other chemicals. Unlike traditional tobacco, e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco and do not produce tar or carbon monoxide.
However, increasing evidence suggests the potential risks of e-cigarettes. Multiple studies have sounded the alarm about the potential dangers of electronic cigarettes. Last month, an academic study raised concerns about the potential carcinogenicity of e-cigarettes.
Doctors are concerned about potential problems in the future, such as lung disease, dental diseases, and even cancer, which may affect those who start using e-cigarettes at a young age for decades to come.
