Medical Warning: Vaping Can Trigger Cancer and Burns, According to Health Experts

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a firm statement regarding the use of vape, telling all countries to regulate the use of vape with flavors similar to conventional tobacco cigarettes. They revealed that there is no scientific evidence to show that vaping can help active smokers to stop smoking. 

WHO Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that children are often tempted to try vapes with various flavors, despite claims that vapes are "safer" than traditional cigarettes.

However, a lung specialist, Dr. Erlina Burhan, SpP(K), suggested that Indonesia must immediately have a policy regarding the use of vape and e-cigarettes. He explained that vaping is no safer than smoking tobacco and both can cause serious health problems. Dr. Erlina said that vape smokers and people around them are exposed to dangerous chemicals, including cancer-causing substances such as formaldehyde and hydrocarbons. In addition, there is a risk of burns due to the lithium battery in the e-cigarette device.

Therefore, doctor Erlina emphasized that vaping is no safer than conventional cigarettes and is not recommended for use as a way to stop smoking. Vaping is considered toxic to the airways and lungs, and can cause serious respiratory health problems. Therefore, doctors warn that vaping should not be used until proven safe.

In this context, it is important for Indonesian people to understand the risks of using vape and e-cigarettes. Even though it is claimed to be "safer" than tobacco cigarettes, vaping still has potential dangers that need to be watched out for. In fact, children and teenagers are more vulnerable to the negative impacts of vape use, so there is a need for strict regulations related to vape sales and promotions.

The government and health institutions must work together to provide clear and accurate information regarding the dangers of vaping and e-cigarette use. Health campaigns also need to be stepped up to make people aware of the health risks posed by vaping. As consumers, we also have a responsibility to choose a healthy lifestyle and avoid products that have the potential to harm our health.

Thus, it is important for all of us to be wiser in choosing consumption products that are related to health. Before deciding to use vape or e-cigarettes, we need to consider the risks associated with both products. Health is a very valuable asset, so don't waste it by ignoring the risks of using vape and e-cigarettes.

Let's work together to create a healthy and safe environment for all of us, without sacrificing our health for the sake of unhealthy trends or lifestyles. Remember that health is the most valuable treasure, so take care of it and take good care of it for a better future. Hopefully this information is useful and encourages us all to make healthier choices in our daily lives.

Let's support the movement to live healthy and free from the bad effects of e-cigarettes and vaping. Health is our right that must be maintained properly. Thank You.

May we all always be given health and blessings. Thank You.
