電子煙不想讓你知道的二手煙蒸氣

電子煙和霧化裝置由於在年輕人中逐漸受到歡迎,因此不斷受到眾多關注。愈來愈多的研究顯示這些產品其實是有害的,而且很容易上癮。但是電子煙還有另一個值得大家注意的危害,就是當電子煙的吸煙者在吸煙並吐出超細微氣霧之時,也讓自己和周遭的人,以及周圍的環境均暴露於有害物質之中。1
不論電子煙製造商希望我們相信二手煙蒸汽是否有害,這些產品並不會釋放出無害的水蒸氣。這些蒸氣實際上是一種含有危險化學混合物質的氣霧。2 電子煙氣霧中至少有10種化學物質列於《加州65號提案》的致癌物和生殖毒素清單上。3 根據美國醫務總長的說法,電子煙氣霧可能會讓周圍的人暴露在有害物質之中,包括:
- 尼古丁、
- 重金屬、
- 揮發性有機化合物,以及
- 超細微粒,可在吸入後深入肺部2
暴露於細微粒和超細微粒中,可能會讓哮喘等呼吸系統疾病更加嚴重4,並且已知會對心血管系統產生直接的負面影響。5 電子煙的使用也被證明會讓動脈收縮,進而導致心臟病發作。6
更重要的是,根據研究顯示,較新款的電子煙和霧化裝置會比舊款裝置產生更多超細微粒。7
青少年的父母必須注意,美國醫務總長已將青少年使用電子煙標籤為一種流行病。
青少年對於電子煙的使用量在去年暴增78%1,現在有四分之一的高中生正在使用這些含有尼古丁的產品,尼古丁是一種會讓人高度上癮的化學物質。8
即使你的青少年子女並未吸電子煙,他們也可能正在吸入被其他吸電子煙者呼出的氣霧,這會對他們的健康構成威脅。9 請立即採取行動以呼吸清淨空氣。馬上在家中及車內採用無煙規則,電子煙也包括在內。歡迎了解更多關於如何保護家人遠離電子煙危害的詳情。請瀏覽SecondhandDangers.org/Chinese,以獲得更多有關二手煙和電子煙二手煙率上升的信息,並了解你的城市為了保護你所採取的措施。
