Top pulmonologist declares that vapes are not safe, not healthy
Top pulmonologist Dr. Bryan Cepedoza declares that vapes or electronic cigarettes are not safe and are not healthy for humans.
He made the statement during a radio interview over “Open Forum program” on Aug. 30, 2022, hosted by Dave Albarado on Aug. 30, 2022
The doctor said that the fumes generated by vapes contain chemicals that may cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other lung diseases just like smoking tobacco cigarettes.
He added that only oxygen and nitrogen should enter the lungs and not chemicals.
Vapes are being marketed as a safer alternative to smoking as these do not contain the thousands of chemicals in tobacco known to cause cancer and other diseases.
According to reports, vapes also contain nicotine, a chemical that is found in tobacco, which is addictive.
Electronic cigarettes are being marketed as a safer alternative to smoking tobacco.
However, pulmonologists like Dr. Cepedoza believes that anything that enters the lungs aside from oxygen and nitrogen are unhealthy and dangerous.
He is urging people not to use vapes as a way to escape from tobacco smoking.
Vapes, he emphasized, carry a lot of potential health risks and dangers.
