Can vaping cause changes in our cells?

As an individual who once believed in the promise of vaping as a safer alternative to smoking, I embarked on a journey that ultimately led me to a profound realization: prioritizing my health over convenience was paramount.

It’s undeniable that traditional tobacco products wreak havoc on our bodies, causing irreversible damage to our lungs and increasing the risk of life-threatening diseases like cancer. In my quest for a healthier alternative, I turned to vaping, hoping to break free from the chains of tobacco addiction.

However, my experience with vaping proved to be far from the panacea I had envisioned. Despite its touted benefits, vaping failed to satisfy my cravings and instead left me feeling depleted and unwell. Dehydration, coupled with a lack of essential nutrients from improper eating habits, took its toll on my body, manifesting in alarming symptoms such as liver pain and debilitating fatigue.

Concerned for my well-being, I sought medical advice and underwent a liver scan, revealing unsettling fatty deposits in my liver—a stark reminder of the detrimental effects of vaping on my health. Faced with this sobering reality, I made a conscious decision to reclaim control of my life and pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Quitting vaping marked the beginning of a remarkable transformation. Freed from the shackles of addiction, I experienced a newfound sense of vitality and vigor. The burden of liver pain lifted, replaced by an abundance of energy and vitality that I had long forgotten.

Today, I stand as living testimony to the power of resilience and determination in overcoming adversity. By embracing the simple pleasures of life and relinquishing the harmful habits that once held me captive, I have unlocked a world of boundless possibilities.

To those who may find themselves ensnared by the allure of vaping or any other harmful habit, I implore you to heed this cautionary tale. Embrace the gift of life with gratitude and reverence, for it is a precious treasure to be cherished and nurtured.

In closing, let us remember that true fulfillment lies not in succumbing to the temptations of vice, but in embracing the purity of existence and breathing the air as nature intended. As I bask in the radiance of newfound health and vitality, I invite you to join me on this transformative journey towards a brighter, healthier future.

Yours in health and healing,

Leigh

I think until there is solid proof that vaping is as bad as cigarettes then people should stop putting fake news on the internet. Smoking contains over 7000 toxins, including tar that they use on the roads , vaping has about 5 substances in and is actually around 95% safer than smoking . My Dr adviced me to switch to vaping to quit the cancer sticks , which I did , my breathing has improved loads and my horrid,rattly smokers cough I had for years had gone , I no longer get out of breath just walking up the stairs. I agree if people have never smoked then they shouldn’t just start vaping and kids shouldn’t do it either . But my Dr said the nail thing in vapes is nicotine, which is not harmful at all , it’s just addictive. We breath in toxins every time we leave the house , with all the car fumes and pollution that’s in the air .
The reason the government don’t want people quitting smoking and start vaping is because there’s millions weeks millions of pounds to be made in smoking and killing millions of people a year . There is no money to be made in the vaping . What’s more important, people’s health or money …
The government are the most untrustworthy ,lying snakes on the planet.
And until there is concrete proof people should vape to quit the cancer sticks.

Every way of smoking, including vaping, is, in my layman understanding, a huge cancer risk. After all, you inhale smoke with plenty of dangerous ingredients that go right up your brain, down your throat and also down your lungs and no one could ever convince me that this is healthy or free of any cancer danger. There are other articles on this (great) website, which clearly explain that the greatest dangers of developing cancer are drinking alcohol and smoking. Luckily, I have never smoked anything in my entire life and I have no interest in starting this, in fact I am very disgusted if someone on the streets is smoking and I have to pass by or even walk behind that person, which makes me holding my breath until I got away, yet, from my observation while walking the streets, when somebody is vaping the clouds are way thicker and the smell seems to go way farther than the smell of burning tobacco. To me, those are clearly warning signs that vaping may even be far more dangerous, also when it comes to cancer development, than smoking cigarettes, although I highly advise to stay away from any kind of smoking anyway. And I would not be surprised if later studies will finally figure out that vaping is indeed coming with a far greater risk than smoking cigarettes, although, again, my layman advise is to just stay away from smoking anything, no matter what it is.

WOAH! This shared a lot of info about how bad vaping is!

Cancer research has a responsibility to protect the public, not the Corporations pushing Vapes on the population under the guise of “safer than cigarettes”. This is akin to saying there is no evidence that walking across the motorway with a blindfold on is unsafe because there is no evidence to suggest you would get run over (as no one has carried out a real study to confirm or deny this)

This nanny state will not stop me vaping it saved me from smoking and your never stop children smoking just like cannabis

Nobody has ever asked my husband about his vaping – e-cigarette use despite having lung cancer🙀 what is going on?

Methyl is not a molecule (the closest molecule to it is methane). It is usually called a group (or, maybe, a moiety).
