Snus is a tobacco prepared in powder or rubbed form intended for snuff. “What is particularly dangerous about this form of tobacco is that a large dose of nicotine enters the bloodstream in a short time, which can cause respiratory convulsions, paralysis and even death. In addition, snuff contains 28 carcinogenic substances,” explains Tähnas. “Since snuff is also distributed on the black market, narcotic substances can also be mixed in the tobacco purchased from drug dealers and in this way those who use it can also become drug addicts. Nicotine addiction occurs more easily with snuff and snuff than with regular cigarettesbecause the amount of nicotine administered is more constant and often in higher doses.”
It’s not even less dangerous smoking hookah. This process takes longer and the hookah smoker receives a greater amount of nicotine. According to Tähnas, often significantly larger, because an hour there is hookah smoke comparable to smoking up to 100 cigarettes. Hookah smoke contains much more carbon monoxide, and water does not filter out all the harmful substances present in the product, which enter the body directly.
A tobacco cessation counseling nurse at the Northern Estonia Regional Hospital Hello Tammik adds that sharing hookah mouthpieces and e-cigarettes among multiple users carries the risk of contracting an infectious disease such as hepatitis C, whooping cough, a respiratory virus or even tuberculosis.
YOU CANNOT ELIMINATE NICOTINE ADDICTION BY VAPING
The increasingly popular e-cigarettes are not as safe as their manufacturers advertise. An electronic cigarette, or vaporizer, is a battery-powered electronic device that uses liquids with or without nicotine chemical blends. Tähnas explains that when the flavors contained in e-cigarettes are burned, a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in the body, which induce oxidative stress (OxS) in cells. “However, this at some point leads the body to several pathological changes, including cardiovascular diseases or the formation of tumors. Indeed, oxidative stress is also associated with infertility in both men and women, as well as miscarriage “, says Tähnas. “Vapers often consume much more nicotine than when they smoke without realizing it. i.e 1 ml of electronic cigarette contains as much nicotine as is contained in an entire pack of normal cigarettes. Therefore, there is no way to say that e-cigarettes are in any way safer than other tobacco products, even though they supposedly contain no nicotine.” In fact, monitoring tests have found that even e-cigarettes sold as nicotine-free can contain this substance. Therefore, vaping is absolutely not suitable as a substitute for quitting smoking.
