These Are the Grossest Side Effects of Vaping

Vaping causes a number of problems that are often undiscussed but that are nonetheless real. Health problems are one thing, but there are many other undesirable outcomes of the addiction.

“Not only does vaping pose serious health issues, such as damage to your heart and lungs, it can cause other physical changes that are very undesirable,” said Ali S. Raja, M.D., executive vice chairman of the department of emergency medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School.

The following are some of the most prevalent results of long-term, sustained vaping.

A Hacking Cough

Vaping will irritate your lungs, causing inflammation because the vaping liquids coats them, which makes your lungs’ job a lot harder as they attempt to function. This makes it harder to breathe and can cause a hacking cough—also knowns as a chronic smokers’ cough.

Jitters

Talking too fast, the shakes, and nervousness can be caused by vaping. Inhaling vaping products can increase your heart rate, which can lead to stress and jitteriness.

Premature wrinkles

“The nicotine in vaping liquids dehydrates your skin,” Dr. Raja said. “So, you can get premature wrinkles and very dry skin. In addition to skin aging, too, vaping can also delay wound healing. Nicotine use also is linked to chronic skin conditions like acne and psoriasis, and skin cancers, such as squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, as well as oral cancer.”

Yellow Teeth

Your teeth will turn yellow because of the bacteria from vaping liquids. It will get worse the more you vape.

No Teeth

Vaping-caused inflammation can affect your gums to such a serious extent that your teeth can fall out.

You Smell Bad

Vaping, like cigarettes, can make you smell, which is not pleasant for anyone.
