E-Cigarettes are getting medical parity to avoid the harms of smoking

The Dhaka Times Desk ধূমপানের নেশা একবার যাকে ধরে বসে, সে দুনিয়া ছাড়তে রাজি হলেও ধূমপান ছাড়তে রাজি নয়। তাই সম্প্রতি বাজারে ছাড়া হয়েছিল Electronic cigarettes, e-cigarette for short. This e-cigarette will now be used as medicine.

Public smoking is currently banned in many countries around the world, but the number of e-cigarette users has increased. Researchers have argued in favor of e-cigarette use. According to them, “Although these cigarettes contain nicotine, they do not contain other life-threatening harmful substances like normal cigarettes. This cigarette does not emit smoke from burning tar, it emits nicotine as a vapor, which gives the user the feeling of smoking a real cigarette. Therefore, smokers will get the same taste and feel as real cigarettes by consuming e-cigarettes without burning cigarettes without any harm to health. As a result, it will be possible for smokers to give up cigarettes at some point.”

An e-cigarette is usually a battery-powered device that looks like a real cigarette and emits the same vapor as a real cigarette when consumed, only without the harmful tar. According to the e-cigarette manufacturer, the vapor that users consume while consuming it will not cause any damage to the lungs.

British researchers said that electronic cigarettes are basically a way to reduce the addiction of smokers E-cigarettes have multiple chambers. These chambers contain a nicotine solution, which is heated by a battery in another chamber. The nicotine-solution starts to boil on contact with the electricity emitted from the battery. The smoke that comes out contains nicotine, which creates the sensation of smoking in the brain.

UK Medicines and Health Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Says, "Hydrocarbons and chemicals mixed with smoke when burning cigarettes made of tobacco are dangerous. It can even cause cancer. Carbon monoxide emitted from cigarettes is harmful to the lungs. But the tolerable nicotine in e-cigarettes does less damage to the body.”

In the meantime, the UK Department of Health has instructed manufacturers to make e-cigarettes more health-friendly.
