EnglishИспользование электронных сигарет (вейпинг) несет много рисков для здоровья, особенно для детей, молодых людей и беременных женщин. [1][2] Риск зависит от состава аэрозоля электронной сигареты и варьируется в зависимости от содержимого The use of electronic cigarettes (vaping) carries many health risks, especially for children, young adults, and pregnant women.[1][2] The risk depends on the composition of electronic cigarette aerosol and varies according to the contents of the liquid, the physical and electrical design of the device, and user behavior.[notes 1][4] As of 2019, the long-term risks of vaping are uncertain because it is a relatively new technology,[notes 2][6][7][8][9] although the long-term risks of some individual substances in vaping aerosols have been studied. In United Kingdom vaping is considered to be around 95% less harmful than tobacco in a landmark review by Public Health of England.[10]
E-cigarette vapor has a different composition than cigarette smoke, and can have lower levels of some toxic chemicals.[11][6][12][13][14] E-cigarettes reduce lung function, reduce cardiac muscle function, and increase inflammation.[15][16] Traditional cigarettes have a higher damage record than vaping but inhaling nicotine has its own consequences.[17] The deadly 2019–20 vaping lung illness outbreak in North America was likely primarily caused by vitamin E acetate in THC-containing vaping liquid.[18] Other unidentified chemicals may also cause vaping-associated pulmonary injury.[19] The relationship between nicotine vaping and tobacco smoking is an area of active study and debate; including the relative health risk, whether electronic cigarettes should be promoted as a less harmful alternative to smoking or as a means to quit nicotine entirely, and whether or not the availability of electronic cigarettes recruits more people into nicotine dependence. Nicotine vaping produces more carcinogens and toxic substances than a medically-approved nicotine inhaler.[20] Health concerns extend to nearby people inhaling the vapor exhaled by others, in the same way as second-hand smoke.[21]
E-cigarettes create vapor that consists of fine and ultrafine particulate matter,[3] propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine, flavors, small amounts of toxicants,[3][22] carcinogens,[23] heavy metals, and metal nanoparticles.[3] The harmful effects of nicotine itself can include cardiovascular disease, possible birth defects, and poisoning.[24] E-liquid can be contaminated by various substances introduced during manufacturing,[25] or by metal particles from the container.[11] Carbonyl compounds such as carcinogenic formaldehyde can inadvertently be produced if nichrome wire heating element becomes too hot. This is more of a concern with higher voltage (5.0 V[22]) vaping devices, which can generate equal or higher levels of formaldehyde compared to smoking[26] and during "dry-puffing".[27]
Aside from toxicity exposure in normal use, there are also risks from misuse or accidents.[11] Such accidents can be through nicotine poisoning (especially among small children[23]),[28] contact with liquid nicotine,[29] fires caused by vaporizer malfunction,[3] and battery explosions resulting from extended charging, unsuitable chargers, design flaws,[11] or user modifications.

идкости, физической и электрической конструкции устройства и поведения пользователя. [примечания 1][4] По состоянию на 2019 год долгосрочные риски вейпинга являются неопределенными, поскольку это относительно новая технология,[примечания 2][6][7][8][9], хотя долгосрочные риски некоторых отдельных веществ в аэрозолях для вейпинга были изучены. В Соединенном Королевстве вейпинг считается примерно на 95% менее вредным, чем табак в знаковом обзоре Общественного здравоохранения Англии. [10]
Пары электронных сигарет имеют другой состав, чем сигаретный дым, и могут иметь более низкие уровни некоторых токсичных химических веществ. [11][6][12][13][14] Электронные сигареты снижают функцию легких, снижают функцию сердечной мышцы и усиливают воспаление. [15][16] Традиционные сигареты имеют более высокий урон, чем вейпинг, но вдыхание никотина имеет свои последствия. [17] Смертельная вспышка заболевания легких в 2019–2020 годах в Северной Америке, вероятно, была в основном вызвана ацетатом витамина Е в ТГК-содержащей жидкости для вейпинга. [18] Другие неидентифицированные химические вещества также могут вызывать повреждение легких, связанное с вейпингом. [19] Взаимосвязь между никотиновым вейпингом и табакокурением является областью активных исследований и дебатов; включая относительный риск для здоровья, следует ли рекламировать электронные сигареты как менее вредную альтернативу курению или как средство для полного отказа от никотина, и привлекает ли доступность электронных сигарет больше людей к никотиновой зависимости. Никотиновый вейпинг производит больше канцерогенов и токсичных веществ, чем одобренный с медицинской точки зрения никотиновый ингалятор. [20] Проблемы со здоровьем распространяются на близлежащих людей, вдыхающих пар, выдыхаемый другими, так же, как пассивное курение. [21]
Электронные сигареты создают пар, который состоит из мелких и ультрадисперсных твердых частиц,[3] пропиленгликоля, глицерина,никотина, ароматизаторов,небольших количеств токсикантов,[3][22] канцерогенов,[23] тяжелых металлови наночастицметаллов. [3] Вредное воздействие самого никотина может включать сердечно-сосудистые заболевания,возможные врожденные дефекты и отравление. [24] Е-жидкость может быть загрязнена различными веществами, вводимыми в процессе производства,[25] или металлическими частицами из контейнера. [11] Карбонильные соединения, такие как канцерогенный формальдегид, могут быть непреднамеренно получены, если нагревательный элемент нихромовой проволоки становится слишком горячим. Это больше касается устройств для вейпинга с более высоким напряжением(5,0 В [22]),которые могут генерировать равные или более высокие уровни формальдегида по сравнению с курением[26] и во время «сухого пыхтения». [27]
Помимо воздействия токсичности при нормальном использовании, существуют также риски неправильного использования или несчастных случаев. [11] Такие несчастные случаи могут быть вызваны отравлением никотином (особенно среди маленьких детей[23]),[28] контактом с жидким никотином,[29] пожарами, вызванными неисправностью испарителя,[3] и взрывами аккумуляторов в результате длительной зарядки, неподходящими зарядными устройствами, недостатками конструкции[11] или пользовательскими модификациями.
