What are the benefits of smokers' fitness?

We all know the three taboos of fitness: smoking, drinking and perming, which are very bad. Moreover, not only fitness, but also smoking and drinking in daily life are discouraged, and its harm need not be described in detail.

But for those who can't give up smoking, there is a better substitute, called e-cigarette or steam smoke. So if you smoke e-cigarettes, will the impact on health or fitness be not as bad as that of traditional tobacco?

The difference between electronic cigarette and traditional cigarette

E-cigarette produces the same experience as "smoking" through the atomization of cigarette oil, which relatively reduces the burning process of tobacco. Tobacco oil generally contains glycerol, propylene glycol, essence, nicotine and other chemicals. At present, the nicotine content of most electronic cigarettes is only one thousandth of that of traditional cigarettes.

We should know that we also consume normal nicotine in our daily diet. For example, vegetables such as tomatoes contain normal nicotine. Therefore, from the perspective of nicotine content alone, e-cigarettes are indeed "not so bad" than traditional cigarettes.

In addition to nicotine content, the production of "smoke" is also the main substance in the smoking process.

The smoke emitted by traditional cigarettes is mainly carbon monoxide, which is a highly toxic substance. E-cigarettes produce less smoke and less toxic substances because of less burning process. Mainly composed of propylene glycol and glycerol. When people smoke electronic cigarettes, these substances will thicken the steam and produce visible smoke clouds. These two substances are not part of our air, and the current research is not clear about their adverse effects on human experience.

Effect of electronic cigarette on cardiopulmonary function

When smoking, the first thing we think of is the lungs. I'm sure everyone has seen those horrible pictures of cigarettes poisoning the lungs. So what effect does e-cigarette have on our cardiopulmonary function?

Nature conducted an experiment on this this year, but the experimental object was mice. Because there are few related studies, the results of this study are for reference only. The research results show that:

In a short time, e-cigarettes have little effect on the cardiopulmonary function of mice.

In the long run, e-cigarettes will cause fibrosis in many internal organs of mice.

In addition, the experimental results also show that the use of e-cigarettes will increase the weight of mice.

So judging from the results of this study, e-cigarettes seem to be a good substitute for smokers in the short term, but don't rely too much on them. In the long run, e-cigarettes will still have a negative impact on the body.

to be short

For non-smokers, don't try any cigarettes. Smoking is not cool or handsome. E-cigarettes are not completely harmless! Only for smokers, the harm of using e-cigarettes will be less than that of cigarettes.

For smokers, you can try to use electronic cigarettes instead, but try not to use cigarette oil with special fragrance. Nor should we rely too much on e-cigarettes to quit smoking.
