So, you’ve swapped your cigarettes for a sleek little vape pen.
Less harmful, right? That’s what we keep hearing.
But the truth is, we’re still flying a little blind when it comes to the long-term effects of vaping on our health.
According to the NHS, the full consequences are yet to be uncovered.
What Happens To Your Body When You Vape?
So, what actually happens to your body when you vape?
A recent YouTube video by The Infographics Show attempts to answer that question.
The video breaks down how those colourful, candy-flavoured clouds you’re exhaling could be waging war on your lungs.
When the chemicals from a vape hit your system, they head straight for your lungs, targeting tiny air sacs called alveoli.
These sacs are crucial for oxygen intake.
The chemicals don’t just pass through harmlessly, though.
They can cause a mucus build-up, making it harder for oxygen to do its thing.
Recent research has identified a close link between vaping and serious lung diseases.
These conditions can lead to breathing problems, chest tightness, and wheezing.
