葉巻はVAPEより悪い？
葉巻もVAPEも、性質は違えど重大な健康リスクを伴う。
- Substance Composition: Cigars contain tobacco, which has known carcinogens, particularly when burned. Vaping liquids can vary in composition, but they generally contain nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals. The long-term health effects of many vaping substances are still being studied.
- Inhalation Method: Cigar smoke is typically not inhaled deeply into the lungs, whereas vaping often involves deep lung inhalation, which can introduce substances directly into the lungs.
- Chemical Exposure: Burning tobacco in cigars produces a range of harmful chemicals. Vaping may expose users to fewer toxicants than smoking cigars, but it is not without risks, including potential lung injury from some vaping substances.
- Addiction Potential: Both cigars and vaping can be addictive due to the presence of nicotine.
- Health Risks: Both have health risks, but they differ in nature. Cigars have a strong association with cancers, particularly oral cancers, while vaping, especially with certain substances, has been linked to lung injuries and respiratory issues.
- Regulation and Quality Control: There is more established information about the risks of tobacco use, while vaping products, especially those not regulated, can vary widely in quality and safety.
