I don’t have a single client who sought help to get free from smoking or vaping that was not suffering the health consequences from their use. When the cost to their health begins to exceed the payoff of immediate gratification, they pick up the thousand-pound phone and call me. After all, smoking and vaping bring relief, and who wants to be uncomfortable?
But here’s the thing: addictions never clear up by themselves. The only get worse, and if you are a smoker or vaper reading this, you too are probably hooked. I know this is an inconvenient truth and most smokers never feel ready to stop.
Consider this: vaping and smoking lead to many health effects such as irreversible lung damage and chronic lung disease.
What’s in the vapes?
E-cigarettes aerosols contain carcinogenic chemicals such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and heavy metals like nickel, cadmium, and lead that can damage lungs. They contain chemicals that are known to create lung disease like diacetyl and acrolein. The flavorings with their own ingredients but all vapes contain nicotine which is a poison that is used as an insecticide. The most successful vape companies offer the greatest amount of nicotine in one hit. Other substances are propylene glycol and glycerin that are used to create the vapor.
Did you know that nicotine is so highly addictive that it can damage the developing brains of our adolescents? Vapers and smokers are more likely to get asthma, lung scarring, and even develop organ damage. Did you know about EVALI? It stands for e-cigarette associated with lung injury. Get the picture?
I am not even going to go into detail about the 7,000 harmful chemicals found in cigarettes. But here is the relevant question: Do you think it is good to keep injecting those chemicals into body day after day without consequences?
