There are many types of e-cigarettes and e-hookahs. Most have a battery-operated heating device. When you inhale, the heater turns on and heats a liquid cartridge into a vapor.
The cartridge may contain nicotine or other flavors or chemicals. It also contains glycerol or propylene glycol PEG , which looks like smoke when you exhale. Each cartridge can be used a few times. Cartridges come in many flavors. THC is the component in marijuana that produces the "high. E-cigarettes have not been fully tested. So, it is not yet known if any of these claims are true.
As of February , nearly 3, people were hospitalized due to lung injury from the use of e-cigarettes and other devices. Some people even died. This outbreak was linked to THC-containing e-cigarettes and other devices that included the additive vitamin e acetate. There is emerging information about e-cigarettes to suggest they are harmful.
Until more is known about their long-term effects, the FDA and the American Cancer Association recommend steering clear of these devices. If you are trying to quit smoking, your best bet is to use FDA-approved smoking cessation aids.
These include:. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. Outbreak of lung injury associated with the use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products. Updated February 25, Accessed November 9, What are the respiratory effects of e-cigarettes? Just google it. I looked into this because a lot of my friends were getting into it and social smoking is a thing.
However, I saw how much money my dad blew on Cigs and how much he is blowing on nicotine gum to try and quit. I also understand not wanting to get young children into it, while it may be to the best of our current knowledge safe, it is also similar in shape and use to a normal cigarette or e-cig which do contain nicotine and have health risks associated with them.
What the CDC says about nicotine free E-Hookah is that they could pose health risks, depending on the ingredients, but not much is really known yet and the only sure risk is with those that contain nicotine and e-cigs which contain some of the same binding ingredients found in normal cigarettes that are carcinogenic.
I hope this clears things up a bit. There is NO nictoine in Hookah Pens! It says it right on the side, thats more then enough proof for me. I dobt think he is completely wrong….. Actually, when you say that these are nor harmful at all, you are wrong. Hookah pens are typically filled with E-juice, which can contain nicotine depending on what kind you buy. And as for marijuana, I was born and rasied in Denver, Colorado and I firmly believe that marijuana being legalized was a great thing to do.
It has helped our beautiful state monetarily and has also helped many people with injuries or diseases that they were unfortunately diagnosed with. So the whole point of me replying to your asinine statements is to tell you to get your shit straight and learn what you are talking about before you post in online for millions to see and criticize.
Oh an by the way, learn how to put together a basic sentence, learn how to use grammar and capitalization, and have you ever heard of a run-on sentence? Back to high school english classes for you. If you get a nicotine free pen all you are inhaling is polyethylene glycol which is found naturally in food and vegetable glycerin also found naturally. In my opinion no hookah Pens should not be made advertised to underage but if you are of age a pen is clearly healthier than cigarettes, cigarettes contain chemicals all carcinogen and hookah pens contain none of.
As long as u get the nicotine free. For the most part correct, but yes you CAN open it and use it for marijuana. Easy to do, but not most effective method of doing so. Easier to roll one, this Is more discreet. Not getting into legalities of it, it is what it is.
A great little product. Does chewing gum harm your body? The point is that no one knows the long term effects of inhaling these chemicals used to create the flavor. Also, if you want to use the argument that all this is is inhaling a chewing gum type substance, there are chemicals in chewing gum designed to make it sticky and chewy. Sticky substances blocking your airways…. I am sure you will be someone soaking up our healthcare dollars in about 30 years while we all pay to treat your lung cancer….
If those chemicals were in the oil it wuldnt be oil its just the glycerin that he mentioned and i feel the same as most towards this the ones with nicatene are bad but without it there not harmfull but i too wouldnt want to see my kids with one however id prefer they did smoke tricks with these than a cigarette. I am a parent , i gave up smoking with an e pen with nicotine.
My daughter who is 17 asked me if she could get an e. I did not think it was an issue , she got one and she had a few puffs on it did some smoke rings on it but got bored!
I see more see more harm done with electronic cigarettes , these are more likely from a smokers point of view to start you smoking. I tried these when giving up , too much like a ciggy. Parents think nothing of giving their kids a drink , so what is the problem. I have a shisha pen to help me stop smoking and to say really its actually working and I am happy. I would like to say its not something you would want to be on for too long.
Never tried hookah pens before. It really is not that bad for you, it is far worse to smoke cigarettes or weed. The ones that have nicotine in them are addictive,and in that way bad, but overall, it is similar to being in a room where a fog machine is on. I do have a vapor pen, and I have friends who have them. We all have no nicotine in them, and we use them for smoke tricks and to relax. This stuff has not been out for enough time to know the true long term effects of it.
I just say let people do what they want. Have you guys realized that rules and regulations Are things a bunch of people tell ONE person to do? To me that sounds like a group of people constantly hanging over your head telling you what to eat or what not to eat. What do to do to have fun and what not to do to have fun. I agree with you to a point. We ARE all responsible for our own actions, but to say that these only harm yourself is inaccurate.
Any vapor that is released is similar to second hand smoke. Plus, financially, smoking anything that could potentially cause long term health problems affects us all. We all pay taxes to contribute to the health care costs of others. Anyway, very well thought out and well spoken response! Wow,Nice debate going on. I just want to say that there are regular hookah pens and hookah pens with no nicotine,tabacoo,and tar. If I person uses that one they will be alright. Todays society is stuck up on followers and humans only wanting pleasure.
Think about it: if alchohol kills your liver, why do we drink it? Its like a snail taking a bath in salt only because of the fuzzy feeling of it stupid example but to the point. Just like mcdonalds; its great and im not gonna lie, keeps you ful land u get your moneys worth. But is it good for you? No its not. Im not saying that hookah pens are bad, im just saying that there are not concrete facts that state it is bad for you. Nor that its good.
All we know is that it is a vapor and made of whatever that gum shit is. The rest is just pure assumptions based on similar products in the past. We r arguing for no reason just to proove a non-exsistant point for no reason. Lets wait a few years until cold facts are stated from a medical research or lab test, not from the millions of blogs posted on the damn internet. You are illiterate. Just wondering. Anyway hookah pens helped me quit smoking. After smoking for 40 years, my wife is using the hookah pen wt nicotine and she did not touch a cigarette in 20 days……..
May be we have a winner. Breathing the air outside is bad for your health!!! My girlfriend is a nurse and she said the pens that dont have nicotine are not bad for u in the Sense u cant get cancer down the line …. I smoke hookah pens without nicotine and it helps me not smoke as much weed. The truth is that kids are curious and no matter wtf you guys are saying we are bound to try it either way.
Evolution motherfuckers. Hookah pens are just water vapor! How is vapor bad! Dont some people need to inhale vapor for medical reasons. Hookahs are an okay thing. Get a variable amount debit card from your local supermarket and order one online to an older friends house. My son is 13 and just a few days ago got caught smoking a hookah pen on the bus.
Let me just say as a parent to a teen.. I do not condone smoking of any kind of chemical. Please know that some things may be harmless until they are heated and then the chemical components change and can cause long term issues. With that being said…my son is no different than any other teen. Whether I like it or not he is going to experiment and experience things on his own. He will also learn from mistakes just like every other human being that has lived on planet earth.
At this point you can only hope it is a fad that goes in the memory bank and that they decide their lungs are better off by walking away. And what i forgot to put in there is that yes there are thos pens put there that have the nicotine in them already but those are e-pens to help people cut down on smoking and hopefully eventually quit, helped multiple people that i know and family, thats why i dont see them as something bad, but everyone is entitled to their opinions but i just commented so people have alittle bit more understanding of the different kinds of hookah pens that are out there not just one kind that already has nicotine in it.
I can see that many of you have very contradicting opinions. I will never smoke a cigarette though. Yes they can be fun to mess around with, but with that you never know exactly what you are putting in your body. Are you guys stupid if its perfectly healthy why not let them smoke it its only water vapor.
While I agree with your point, I do have to say that whenever you inhale something, it goes to your lungs. You can choose how many mg of nicotine you want when you buy a flavor… 0,11,24 or more. Does that help? Its not about whether it is healthy or not or what is in it or anything like that. Its about what it portrays. What in the world is the point of it anyway? Teenagers need to get their priorities straight and stop being influenced by everything.
Everyone is a follower these days. My goodness. I have no desire to start smoking cigarettes just because I use these. Lets impart some knowledge on your feeble brains for a moment.
Now, for the information part, Nicotine in and of is self, is just as harmful for you as caffeine. Is it addictive? Cancer causing? No, nicotine does not cause cancer by its self, it is the combustion or consumption of bio material that causes the cancer.
To all that say they contain tar or tobacco this claim is false. So with the absence of tar, tobacco, and smoke please remember that smoke is not being produced as we know there is no combustion you have a better chance exposing your children and your self to cancer roasting marshmallows at a campfire.
Can anyone really believe nicotine gum, and patches were made without testing? Extracting nicotine is nothing new, it has been done, But what about chemicals for the vapor? Tested tested tested. Glycerin is in alot of things, ever been to a concert recently?
You just experience the vapor in a ecig. So, are vapor pens safe? To answer why would you want to vape with out a buzz? Although I have a Masters in chemistry, all this information is readily open to anyone who seeks knowledge at your local library or a few web clicks. I only wish to present information, what you do with this information, I am not liable for. Get there priorities strait is that a joke teenagers can be stupid I agree but when it comes to influence everyone is a victim.
What car do you drive? You all are correct but.. It depends on how you smoke it, for example if you inhale it of course its bad but not that much that cigarettes do, But if you dont inhale it, its okay and its not bad for you.
If kids have to have something to smoke, in my opinion this is the least bad thing. Hi so after reading all of these comments some people sound legit, for both for and against. Then on the other hand they sound like complete idiots both for and against. Yesterday I tried my friends hookah pen for the first time, she said it was tobacco free and nicotine free. If someone wants to smoke a hookah pen or just regular hookah, let them. Follow your arrow people. Its our own lives, do what you want to.
If i want to smoke some hookah i will. Ya know what we should be stressing? I think it would be healthier to smoke a hookah pen every day rather than eat a bic mac everyday. You have a problem with hookah? I get that. I completely understand. But while a teenager is dying from heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol, your complaining because a kid wants to smoke some flavored water vapor.
All you folks who think it is bad are just out if the loop. Either very small amount of nicotine or get the ones with out. Plus there are the disposable or the reusable. One of my friends smoke weed oil out his reusable but he had a mod for it. They are not harmful. Grow a dick. UTFSE and quit talking out your collective asses. So many uneducated, middle school style opinions.
About 8 years ago, I did a research paper for one of my science classes at Saint Leo University. Regarding cannabis being a gateway drug. I have six kids ranging from 10 through When trying to understand why they are not thinking the way I would prefer them to, I ask them questions to understand their perspective. This helps as I cannot remember my perspective from that time period in my life for the most part. No matter if it has zero nicotine or not, its a way to look cool.
The action supports the next step, not the chemical composition or the lack there of. Its a matter of image and those that have kids and do not realistically consider that fact put your kids at risk.
Those that do not have kids and foster the believe that the use of these things is harmless is just plain ignorance. Small amounts to a child is just as addictive as larger amounts to an adult. The pattern is set in motion. Because it presents an image of smoking that is not healthy for the children. There is no risk of second hand smoke, its the psychological effect on the kids. Its not an arbitrary decision. Its one made out of research and moral responsibility.
So, back to the hookah pen itself, there are varieties, some more harmless than others in a stand offish, disconnected from life sort of way but one fact remains. It presents a psychological image and a psycho-physiological pattern that is a habit that presents a gateway for many. Whether a child, an adult, or a childish adult many cases it still presents a risk. If a person from an arid region immerses themselves in a humid environment, it has an effect.
Increase the humidity further, water vapor, it increases that effect. Excess in the lungs produces illnesses. Give a person a sweet taste that is satisfying to them in that form, you will have excess.
The tobacco companies originally stated in essence that they produce a product, The use of that product is on the consumer and they have no responsibility for the consequences. That did not fly in court as its an irresponsible stance for a product producer.
One of my six is going to be a freshman this coming fall and she has been my most challenging so far. I talk to her often. I smoked from the age of 12 to 35 and as mentioned before had my experience with cannabis, I am now I want to know what she is feeling and what her perspective is so I can guide her as with my others. She has brought up the hookah pen subject that led to my scouring the internet on the subject. Not just out of my experiences in life, but by current information as well.
For reasons that are clear all over the internet, in my research from before as well as current, and knowing that it is an adult decision to be made and at 13, she does not have the rational to make it on her own. In accordance to danger health wise it of little to no threat. As a gateway drug? Kids do process vapor pens and cigarettes differently, just as you are young you know that pink represents feminine and blue represents masculine. The truth is, even with peer pressure unless there is some residual thoughts to try something..
Eg: Just because a you feed a baby only vegetables does not guarantee or even gateway to turn them vegan. If you group something non caustic with something caustic, one will believe both are bad naturally.
