Smoking vape increases the risk of contracting infectious diseases.
Smoking vapes increases the risk of contracting various infectious diseases because the oils contained in the vapor dry out the upper respiratory tract. Pulmonologist Yevgeny Bezlepko told RIA Novosti about this.
The expert explained that glycerin, which is in vapors, attracts moisture to itself. Mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract dry up. a strong cough may occur. And due to the violation of the natural humidification of the respiratory tract and the system of cleaning the mucous membranes from pathogenic bacteria, the risk of infection increases.
The pulmonologist also reminded that vaporization itself also harms the body.
