Никотин в вейпах более опасен, чем в сигаретах: нарколог о рисках для будущих матерей и отцов.

      Главный нарколог Кировской области Елена Томинина warns residents of the region against misconceptions regarding the safety of vapes. She states that nicotine in electronic cigarettes is no less harmful than in traditional tobacco, and in some instances, even more toxic. Furthermore, the concentration of the substance in vape liquids is not regulated by law. Even nicotine-free mixtures contain hazardous chemical compounds that affect health.

      Vapes pose particular risks for men and women who are planning to conceive. The doctor emphasizes that smoking by a parent, even with vapes, can complicate conception, lead to pregnancy complications, and affect fetal development. In women, electronic cigarettes disrupt hormonal balance, reduce reproductive functions, and increase the risk of miscarriage. In men, sperm quality deteriorates and erectile dysfunction may develop.

      The narcologist explains that the substances found in vapes cause blood vessel constriction, including in the placenta, which worsens the oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus. This can lead to developmental delays, premature births, and other severe consequences for the child. Additionally, the risk of sudden infant death syndrome increases.

      The specialist concluded that in order to maintain the health of future parents and their child, it is essential to completely abstain from any forms of smoking, including electronic cigarettes.
