Smoking and Vaping Problems

Smoking and Vaping are very different because they have differences ways of
delivering nicotine to the body. Smoking involves burning tobacco or other substances, which
can cause smoking-related illness. Vaping involves heating a liquid or oil in a device, which
produces vapor that is inhaled. In this year, we’ve seen a lot people who likes vaping than
smoking but there’s still some people who still like to smoking too using cigarette. While vaping
is electronic cigarette. And both are very dangerous for health, because mostly these days
people using vape than cigarettes there are some dangers associated while vaping.

The length time of vaping can be much longer than smoking, since vape is electronic
cigarette and using liquid it can spend around 20 minutes, while smoking can be spend around
5-7 minutes. We all already know that both of them contains nicotine, and nicotine is a very
addictive. Many studies have shown that it may be harder to quit a nicotine addiction than a
heroin addiction. Nicotine can also cause a brain damage and concentration. That’s why health
organizations still need to solve the problems how to quit this nicotine addiction to the
youngsters. The flavors and stabilizers in electronic cigarette can cause damage to lungs and
also in extreme cases even death. Smoke causes serious cardiovascular and respiratory diseases,
including coronary heart disease and lung cancer. In infants, it causes sudden death syndrome.
Somehow there’s other country that banned vaping such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam,
Thailand, Taiwan, Dubai, Cambodia, and in any India states.

About this problem can be related to my personal life, even I don’t smoke or vaping but
the smoke from their smoking or vaping can cause health problems to those non-smoking.
Because if there’s much people smoking or vaping the air can be polluted and for those people
who are non-smoking will breathe the air that had been affected by their smoke, that also can
cause health problems. Even for pregnant women, it causes low birth weight.
