Study: Electronic cigarettes with a single use are more dangerous than traditional cigarettes

Electronic cigarettes have seen an increase in their popularity over the past two decades, especially among young people. These elegant devices, available in different flavors, are often marketed as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, new and disturbing research is questioned in this hypothesis, according to the “Gizmodo” website specializing in technology news. In a study published in ACS Central Science on June 25, three researchers tested a common brand for electronic cigarettes for use once to detect dangerous metals such as lead, chrome, antimone and nickel. In breathing these toxins, it can increase the risk of cancer, respiratory diseases and nerve damage. The results showed that electronic cigarettes perform high and dangerous levels of toxic minerals, much higher than the levels released by traditional cigarettes and other electronic cigarettes. More than traditional cigarettes and one of the species tested during daily use, fired, exceeded a number of bullets about 20 cans of cigarettes. The researchers concluded that these results, due to the distribution of electronic cigarettes among minors, confirm the urgent need to take regulatory measures. “Our study highlights the hidden risks of these new and single electronic cigarettes, with the dangerous levels of toxic bullets of the nerves, nickel and antimon, which emphasizes the need to accelerate the application of the law,” says Brett Paulin, assistant professor in environmental poisoning at the University of California. He added: “These risks are not only worse than other electronic cigarettes, but also worse in some cases than traditional cigarettes.” The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken strict measures against brands selling electronic cigarettes with flavors that can be used once in the United States, due to concerns about their arrival in young people, health risks and unauthorized sales. Despite the release of warning messages for famous brands, which impose sanctions on retailers and import E -cigarettes from other countries such as China, the administration has failed to remove these devices from the US market. In the past few years, sales of electronic cigarettes with one use exceeded the old -filling cigarette sales. A rumor among young people and according to the annual national survey conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration on tobacco among young people for 2025, electronic cigarettes designated for one-time use are the most common tobacco products among young people. The survey found that 5.9% of the preparatory and secondary students (1.63 million students) reported their current use of electronic cigarettes, and that 55.6% of their electronic cigarettes used for use for once. Previous studies have been discussed in the racist composition of electronic cigarettes that can be filled, but few investigate these modern devices. To fill this void, Pauline, his minerals and metal semi -metal analyzes analyzed within seven electronic cigarettes for once, from three brands, including flared and unsuccessful fluids. They chose brands based on their popularity and electronic cigarettes from Internet sellers in the United States. All the devices they experienced contain nicotine, except for one, which enabled researchers to test the effect of nicotine on metal concentrations in electronic fluids, known as ‘evaporation fluid’. The most important components of any vapor device are the battery, the e -liquid known as ‘evaporation fluid’ or ‘e -liquid’ and the heating device. And if the user presses a butter on the device, or in some cases, the battery is heated and the e -liquid becomes in a spray. These metal components can leak in the e -liquid and thus reach the lungs. “Candidate material” The researchers tested metal concentrations in electronic fluids and spraying, using a special tool to stimulate electronic cigarettes and generate between 500 and 1500 strokes for each device. “These devices used once contain toxins that are already in the E -liquid, or they leak wide from their components to electronic fluids, and then they are eventually moved to smoke,” said lead researcher Mark Salazar. Some unused electronic fluids contain high levels of antimone, which is a toxic substance. The experiment also noted the nickel leak of the heating device to the e -liquid, while the leakage of the nickel and the lead of the ingredients of bronze gates containing lead in some devices. The fumes of some devices contain surprisingly high levels, including antimon and lead. It is interesting that the metal concentrations have increased with the increase in the number of jets, suggesting that the situation with the age of the device is getting worse. Generally, the researchers have determined that once -times electronic cigarette users are exposed to significantly higher levels of toxic minerals and metal semi metal compared to those using electronic cigarettes, which can lead to increased health risks. Three of the tested electronic cigarettes have produced fumes that contain nickel that exceeds the boundaries of the risk of cancer, and exempt from two antimone devices that can be carcinogenic. Four devices contain nickel and lead emissions that exceed the boundaries of the risk of other diseases other than cancer, such as nerve damage and breathing diseases.
