US: 100 Researchers Study the Risks of E-Cigarettes to Humans
Introduction: As e-cigarettes become increasingly popular, people are gradually raising questions. Do e-cigarettes pose health risks to humans?
According to reports from Chinese e-cigarette news: For consumers, are e-cigarette products truly safe? For the vast majority of consumers, do they represent a reduced health risk? In response to these questions, some researchers in the United States have conducted in-depth studies and discussions.
The research and regulation of e-cigarette products have kept researchers and consumers waiting too long. Therefore, researchers from several universities in the United States have studied the health risks of e-cigarettes in hopes of obtaining first-hand research results.
Led by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Public Health, over 100 researchers have conducted related studies on the health risks of e-cigarettes and published their findings in a medical journal in the United States called PLOS.
It is reported that the researchers participating in this e-cigarette risk assessment include relevant researchers and healthcare workers from public health schools at some universities in the United States. Among the 128 researchers involved in this study, there are 27 researchers in mental health, 24 internists, 21 obstetricians, 28 surgeons, and 28 general practitioners.
Among the 128 researchers participating in this study, 67% believe that e-cigarettes help smokers quit; 65% believe that using e-cigarettes reduces the health risks of cancer compared to using traditional tobacco products; and 35% of researchers have recommended e-cigarette products to patients who have previously smoked.
In fact, some smoking patients have sought effective ways to quit smoking during their treatment. Data shows that among sick smokers, as many as 80% have consulted doctors about this, and most doctors have suggested that they can use e-cigarettes as a substitute for traditional tobacco products.
