fec t s of Vaping The Ef In 2006, the Scottish Government banned smoking in indoor spaces. This ban was put in place to try and prevent people being affected by second- hand smoke. Before the ban, almost 900 people were dying each year due to other people smoking. Since then, vaping has grown in popularity, with many people believing that it is a less harmful alternative than cigarettes. Vaping is the inhaling of a vapour produced by an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette. Powered by batteries, e-cigarettes are smoking devices that contain cartridges. These cartridges contain a liquid, which creates a vapour when heated. In 2016, strict laws were passed by the UK government regulating the ingredients in the cartridges. The substances in a cartridge include the following: ! Nicotine - a stimulant drug that speeds up the messages travelling between the brain and the body. Propylene glycol - used to make antifreeze, paint and the artificial smoke in fog machines. Flavourings - to produce the different scents that the vapour has.

Cigarettes contain many chemicals that can have negative effects on smokers and those around them. Although e-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, which are two of the most harmful elements found in cigarettes, they do contain nicotine, which can be highly addictive. It can remain in the body for up to three days and as it disappears, people who are addicted to nicotine will find themselves craving more. Some people also report that they experience headaches, dizziness and nausea after smoking an e-cigarette. The lungs can also become irritated. It is important to know that e-cigarettes are for those aged 18 and over. This is due to the fact that nicotine can slow brain development in children and teenagers, affecting learning, memory and concentration. Another reason is that young people who vape are more likely to try smoking cigarettes and are at an increased risk of trying other drugs.
