If you have been vaping for a while, you might already know the significant pros and cons surrounding vaping. While there have been many suggested practices for smokers to end smoking on the account of its hazardous health consequences, the research on vaping show significant evidence for the smokers to successfully end smoking!
One of the Most Popular Benefits of Vaping
Without any doubt, one of the reasons we are seeing the market of vaping going up is because of its significantly less harmful effects on health in opposed to smoking. This is perhaps the reason; smokers are switching to vaping in hope of quitting smoking. The UK government has supported the initiative by providing incentives under strict regulations on vaping accessories in the UK.
One of the recent publication the Government of the UK concluded:
“The smokers should be encouraged to try regulated nicotine vaping products along with smoking cessation medications and behavioural support. This will greatly increase their chances of successfully stopping smoking.” (1)
However, there have been many discussions that suggest the malfunctioning of the Vape MOD. Whether you have heard it in the news about the explosion of E-Cigarettes or your friends informed you about it, the thing we need to consider is the authenticity of this kind of news before accepting them as it is!
Is it just a Myth?
To understand whether exploding of E-Cigarettes is a myth or really true, we need to analyse some aspects. There have been many cases in the news related to the explosion recently. In one of the recent reports of BBC, they said:
“In February, Public Health England commissioned a report into e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products. The report noted: “Exploding e-cigarettes can cause severe burns and injuries that require intensive and prolonged medical treatment, especially when they explode in users’ hands, pockets or mouths.” (2)
However, the cases of the explosion of Disposable E-Cigarettes are very rare, as BBC further added in their report:
“Incidents are very rare, the cause is uncertain but appears to be related to malfunctioning lithium-ion batteries.” (2)
Considering the rareness of the cases, should we really generalise the news of the explosion of the disposable e-cigarettes?
The Truth Behind the Myth
Now we know that Electronic Cigarettes are electronic devices that run on chargeable batteries. Like any electronic device, E-Cigarette requires some precaution to avoid any harmful consequences. These cases of the explosion have been reported only when the precautions were not followed. Buying cheap batteries, using a charger other than the one required, using damaged batteries or overusing your first battery will all lead to malfunctioning of the E-Cigarettes.
