Translated version
Myth: E-cigarettes are harmless.
False. Although e-cigarette vapor does not contain tar and many of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke, it does contain nicotine, which is addictive and harmful to the cardiovascular system. Additionally, the vapor contains other potentially harmful substances (propylene glycol, glycerol, heavy metals, flavorings) whose long-term effects are still being studied.
Original version
Mitas: Elektroninės cigaretės yra nekenksmingos.
Netiesa. Nors elektroninių cigarečių garuose nėra dervų ir daugelio kancerogenų, esančių tabako dūmuose, juose yra nikotino, kuris sukelia priklausomybę ir kenkia širdies bei kraujagyslių sistemai. Be to, garuose yra kitų potencialiai kenksmingų medžiagų (propilenglikolio, glicerolio, sunkiųjų metalų, kvapiųjų medžiagų), kurių ilgalaikis poveikis vis dar tiriamas.
