Which is more harmful, e-cigarette or tobacco?

1, e-cigarettes are harmful. Nicotine in e-cigarettes will have a negative impact on teenagers' brain development, which may lead to nicotine addiction, mental disorder, inattention and decreased learning ability. Although many people smoke e-cigarettes to quit smoking, the use of e-cigarettes may still make them addicted to other tobacco products, alcohol, drugs and so on.

2. Not only is it harmful to smokers, but the second-hand smoke of e-cigarettes is also harmful. "Minors, pregnant women and non-smokers are exposed to nicotine for a long time, inhaling other toxic emissions from such products, and inhaling second-hand emissions are all health risks."

Nicotine is a highly toxic chemical, and the respiratory system of minors is not fully developed. Inhaling e-cigarettes may also lead to various safety risks such as nicotine poisoning. "At present, the smoke oil of some electronic cigarettes on the market is not standardized in nicotine content, and such safety hazards cannot be ignored."

The harm of hookah is even more surprising. The World Tobacco Atlas released at the16th World Conference on Tobacco and Health shows that the quantity of cigarettes inhaled from hookahs is almost equal to that of a whole cigarette. The hookah contains carcinogens and toxic substances, such as nitric oxide and heavy metals. Therefore, the use of hookah is as harmful to human health as the use of cigarette tobacco.
