Is vaping with e-cigarettes ‘safer’? UAE ministry cautions against spreading misleading perceptions – News

Health authorities in the UAE are warning against the promotion of electronic smoking products as safer alternatives to traditional cigarettes. The Ministry of Health and Prevention stated that there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, urging smokers to quit and highlighting serious health risks such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and mental health issues. The World Health Organisation also emphasized that e-cigarettes with nicotine are highly addictive and harmful to health, generating toxic substances that can cause cancer and increase the risk of heart and lung disorders.

The tobacco industry often positions nicotine products as safer than cigarettes, but the WHO report suggests otherwise. Companies use the concept of “harm reduction” to encourage consumers to try e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and nicotine pouches. However, there is insufficient evidence that these newer products are effective in helping smokers quit, and there is growing evidence that they come with their own risks. Most users end up becoming dual users, which can be more harmful to their health.

According to experts, there is no safe form of tobacco use, and all forms of nicotine consumption have health risks. Vaping has been linked to acute lung inflammation, strong addiction, dental problems, and other health issues. Some vaping liquids contain high levels of nicotine, making them addictive, and the convenience of vaping in public spaces may lead to higher consumption compared to traditional cigarette smoking. Despite UAE laws prohibiting smoking e-cigarettes indoors, some individuals still vape indoors assuming that the same restrictions for cigarette smoking do not apply to e-cigarettes.

It is important for individuals to be aware of the potential health risks associated with electronic smoking products and to prioritize quitting smoking altogether. The long-term health effects of vaping are not fully understood, but research suggests that it can lead to various health complications, including lung disorders and addiction. Public health agencies recommend avoiding the use of e-cigarettes and other nicotine products to protect overall health and well-being.

In conclusion, the promotion of electronic smoking products as safer alternatives to traditional cigarettes is misleading, and there is limited evidence to support their effectiveness in helping individuals quit smoking. The health risks associated with vaping and other nicotine products are significant, with potential implications for cardiovascular and respiratory health. It is crucial for individuals to prioritize quitting smoking and to seek support from healthcare professionals and smoking cessation programs to improve their overall health and well-being. By raising awareness about the risks of electronic smoking products, health authorities can help prevent the spread of misinformation and protect the public from potential harm.
