The problem of second-hand smoke in vape is also a key research issue at present. There is no authoritative report in the industry, so we can only see how harmful it is from the components in its smoke. One thing must have advantages and disadvantages, and second-hand smoke in vape must be There is a certain amount of harm, but we have to see how big the harm is.
Is secondhand smoke from vape dangerous?
We need to look at what is mainly in second-hand smoke from vape. The smoke produced by vape is mainly propylene glycol, glycerol, flavors and fragrances, aerosols, aldehydes and nicotine.
Both glycerin and propylene glycol are short carbon-chain compounds that exist in liquid form and do not burn during heating, so unlike traditional cigarettes, carbon monoxide is not produced due to insufficient combustion during the combustion process
Nicotine: After the smoke enters the lungs, part of the nicotine will enter the blood and be absorbed by the body, and the other part will be excreted, so the smoke contains a certain amount of nicotine. (The nicotine in smoke is in vapor form and is relatively less harmful.)
Aldehydes: Alcohols may generate aldehydes under catalytic conditions. (“Environmental Health Outlook” magazine has done an analysis and research on the content of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein in vape. Among them, formaldehyde represents formaldehyde, acetaldehyde represents acetaldehyde, and acrolein represents acrolein. The data shows that vape smoke contains formaldehyde, acetaldehyde aldehydes and acrolein, but insignificant compared to cigarettes.)
Aerosols and other particulate matter: Most of the vape smoke is suspended liquid particles, which volatilize and dissipate quickly, and do not belong to the category of PM2.5; trace carbon fiber particles will not cause PM2.5 to explode.
To sum up, from the perspective of the composition of second-hand smoke in vape, there are indeed some harmful substances, so it has certain harm to the body, but it is much smaller than cigarettes. It is recommended that you try not to close it with many people Space to vape.
