Should I Vape?<\/strong> Recently many people have begun to vape using e-cigarettes to either reduce their tobacco usage or stop smoking tobacco completely whilst at the same time enjoying many of the tactile and social benefits of \u201cvaping\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Having spoken to many patients, it would seem that this strategy is very effective at curtailing tobacco usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many products available but the industry at present is largely unregulated and as such there is wide brand variation in the nicotine \u201cdose\u201d an e-cigarette provides and how each device creates a vapour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also some concern as there is no long\u2014term safety data to support their use. Despite the lack of data, Public Health England<\/a> came out in favour of e-cigarettes as an effective way to curtail tobacco usage. PHI England\u2018s argument is that any risk to health<\/a> either known or unknown due to vaping is far more likely to be lower than the risk <\/a>of continued tobacco smoking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The link between smoking and heart attacks was actually proven<\/a> in a landmark study on doctors back in the 1950\u2019s \u2014 those who smoked were far more likely to suffer a heart attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
