World Lung Day is celebrated every year on 25 September to spread awareness about lung health and raise awareness to prevent diseases. On this occasion, it is important to pay attention to vaping, which has become a growing concern.

Vaping, considered a modern alternative to quitting smoking, is becoming increasingly popular due to many myths, but its risks cannot be ignored.

1. Myth: Vaping is completely safer than smoking

This is the most common myth. People believe that electronic cigarettes or vaping is less harmful than smoking. However, vaping contains nicotine and other harmful chemicals, which can damage the lungs and heart.

2. Myth: Vaping makes it easier to quit smoking

People believe that vaping is a better way to quit smoking. However, studies show that most vaping users gradually return to cigarettes. Moreover, some people start using both smoking and vaping simultaneously, which further increases the risk.

3. Myth: The belief that vaping does not cause cancer

is also wrong. Vaping contains nicotine and other carcinogenic elements, which can cause diseases like cancer. Long-term vaping increases the risk of lung and throat cancer.

4. Myth: Vaping does not affect others

People believe that vaping only affects the user. However, the smoke emitted from vaping also contains harmful chemicals, which are harmful to the health of others, especially children and pregnant women.

5. Myth: Vaping products do not contain harmful chemicals

Many people believe that flavored vaping products are not harmful, but this is wrong. Many flavored vapes contain chemicals and metals, which can pose a serious threat to health.

These myths related to vaping are leading to its increasing use, but it is important to keep in mind the health risks associated with it. On World Lung Day, it is time that we understand the importance of lung health and protect ourselves from the dangers of vaping.
