"The e-cigarette contains nicotine and a little harmless vapor ...", here is the deduction that the Dr. Jean-Philippe Maffre, pulmonologist in Tours as part of World No Tobacco Day.
“E-CIGARETTE IS A WAY TO WEAN! "
On the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, whose theme this year is "Tobacco and Lung Health", many tobacco units will hold information stands. In these stands, we talk about complications ranging from bronchial cancer to chronic respiratory diseases, lung cancer being overwhelmingly linked to tobacco smoke, and stopping smoking can reduce the risk of cancer.
During an intervention with our colleagues from France Bleu, the doctor Jean-Philippe Maffre, pulmonologist in Tours no longer hesitates to support the e-cigarette as a real solution to stop smoking.
« The lung is the organ that will drink the most with tobacco consumption. Respiratory diseases which are related to tobacco, lung diseases, are not decreasing. We have a number of lung cancers that continues to increase. We are in the profiles of people who have smoked for 30 years and are in catastrophic respiratory distress. »He declares.
For Doctor Maffre, " current data confirms that e-cigarettes are a path to withdrawal. In addition, the e-cigarette contains Nicotine (which the brain requires) and a little harmless vapor. We are therefore very far from the 4.000 cigarette products, of which 50 or 100 are carcinogenic, not to mention poisons such as arsenic and polonium. "
And he is not the only one to put this risk reduction tool forward, many users like Julian, 30, no longer hesitate to praise the e-cigarette: » Some use it to really quit and others use it as a lesser health and financial harm. I have smoked a lot less since vaping. But I don't want to quit for good. I smoke less. I tried the patch. The patch responds to the problem of nicotine, but not to the problem of the gesture. »
There is no doubt that the e-cigarette will clearly have its place and a role to play on World No Tobacco Day.
