Vaping Weirdest Lies
Don't be shocked to find out that you believe some of these lies. The following are the most common vaping weird lies you'll come across.
1. First, Vaping Is Used as A Bait to Smoking by Tobacco Companies
You must have heard about this lie that has been in existence till vaping was founded. The people who spread these lies claim that tobacco companies have a secret hand and influence in vaping.
Unfortunately, most people believe this huge lie.
It's believed that cigarette companies invest in vaping technology and products to encourage more people to smoke. The vaping experience is designed to give a cigarette feel.
You'll also hear that most vapes have an addictive ingredient hidden in the mixtures. As a result, after vaping, you start craving the feeling of a real cigarette. In the end, you'd buy cigarettes and make the tobacco industry rich.
However, this is not true. The tobacco industry has no hidden agendas in vaping. This is a different product that has no influence from the third party, such as tobacco and other players in the same industry.
The truth is that vaping is useful for people who want to quit smoking.
Research in the Uk shows that more than half of the people who use vaping to stop smoking have successfully quit smoking.
2.Young People Start Smoking By Trying Vaping
Here is another weird lie that's almost similar to the first lie. Some people believe that most young people start vaping before they start smoking cigarettes. The claim comes from the fact that vaping has fewer effects than cigarettes. This means that young people can vape without experiencing the effects of smoking.
The lie further claims that after a short while the young people get the confidence to start smoking.
However, this is not true.
When answering this claim, the National Library of Medicine carried research to determine any linkage between early childhood smoking and vaping.
According to the National Library of Medicine research, the level of young people smoking is relatively low compared to adults. There is no evidence supporting the claim vaping leads to smoking.
The research showed that vaping is confined more to people who already smoke or those trying to quit smoking.
So, please don't believe that young people vaping will lead them to smoke cigarettes.
3. Vaping Isn't Regulated, And There Could Be Harmful Chemicals In Them
There is a large number of people who believe that vaping is not regulated. This lies spread further and claims that since vaping is not regulated, there are serious health concerns.
However, this is not true.
Depending on where you come from, you'll get different regulations. In the US, other states have different regulations regarding vaping. The health departments have also developed standard regulations that govern vaping supplies and accessories' manufacture and sales.
In other countries, for instance, the United Kingdom has the strictest regulations on vaping.
So, don't hold back, thinking that vaping will harm your health. Vaping is regulated. And if you buy your vape accessories and supplies from reputable sources, you'll have nothing to worry about. All of them have been regulated to meet minimum standards that ensure its users' health and well-being are protected.
4. Vaping Leads To "Popcorn Lung'
One of the myths that have been believed for a very long time is that vaping leads to 'popcorn lung' disease. "Popcorn Lung" a rare condition that causes irreversible airway blockage or obstruction due to severe damage to bronchioles.
This myth first originated from a study done by Harvard in 2016. The study claimed to have detected chemical diacetyl in a vaping sample product. However, in the study, the author didn't directly link vaping to popcorn lung. Also, this particular chemical in question is not a common component in most of the vapes.
It's the vaping weirdest lie that most people still believe to be true. But it's not, since the study didn't link vaping directly to popcorn lung.
5. Vaping Is Harmful To Bystanders
Here is a lie that's told due to the connection between cigarette and vaping. In most countries and states, smoking in public places is prohibited. This is because smoking affects passive people—those around people smoking.
The same fact is a lie when it comes to vaping. Unlike smoking, vaping uses vapor and not smoke. And the vaping accessories are designed so that the vapor or liquid doesn't escape to reach the third party.
No research or evidence shows that there is any effect of passive vaping. And just like a cigarette, if there were an effect, more regulations would be in place about vaping. You would expect vaping prohibitions in public places or where there are many people.
Quick Vaping Facts
We are living in a world of false information. Lies spread faster and are believed more than the facts.
Vaping is not left out in this trend.
As we have previously seen, there are some vaping weirdest lies that you'll hear every day. The lies spread more than the truth. And if you're not careful, everything you believe about vaping could end up being a lie.
But we can't allow that to happen to you.
Here are quick facts that you need to know about vaping.
1. Vaping Helps In Quitting Smoking
If you've struggled with smoking for many years, it's time you tried vaping. We recommend you buy a vape with tobacco taste but no nicotine or tobacco in it. Whenever you get the urge to smoke cigarette, start vaping. With time the desire and addiction to nicotine will disappear completely.
As earlier mentioned, research by Ash Action On Smoking and Health shows that people who vape have high chances of quitting smoking. This is backed by the fact that more than 3.2 million adults who started vaping in the UK have completely stopped smoking.
2. Vaping Can Be Addictive Just As Cigarette
Don't be fooled to think that vaping is just an escape leisure activity that won't affect you. Research shows that vaping can as well be addictive. Vapes that have nicotine content in them are more addictive than those that don't have nicotine.
However, vaping addiction is not as worse as cigarette vaping. It's easier to quit vaping than it is to quit smoking.
3. Vaping Is Less Harmful Than Smoking
Chances are you might have heard a lie that says vaping is the same as smoking. That's not true.
Cigarettes have over 7000 chemicals, most of which are toxic.
Vapes, on the other hand, have a controlled number of chemicals. Most of them are nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals that create aerosol. Some of these chemicals are harmful to your health when consumed in large quantities over time. However, you cannot compare them to the danger of smoking cigarettes.
Parting Shot
There is so much information about vaping. Most of it could be correct, but other information is a pure lie. And as earlier mentioned, vaping weirdest falsehoods spread faster than vaping facts. If you're not careful, you'll end up believing lies for the rest of your life.
But this shouldn't happen to you. Before you believe any information you hear about vaping, first, verify it. Check if the source of information is reputable. And even if you trust the source, go ahead and verify the facts. See if there is research or data to back the claim.
This is the only way you'll be sure you believe the right information.
