As previously mentioned, a common method of vaping is the JUUL, a single JUUL pod contains as much nicotine as 20 cigarettes. In addition, it is thought that glycol and propylene glycerol (two ingredients in vape juice) are relatively harmless. However, researchers from the National Institute for Health found that these can have profound effects on the expression of genes regulating our circadian rhythms which affects our sleep cycle.
Another common chemical that people are inhaling is THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana. People typically smoke it, however, vaping THC is becoming more common with the rise in popularity of e-cigarettes. Chronic smoking of anything is deeply detrimental to lung health, and is linked to many diseases (ALA). However, vaping THC is using concentrated extracts, making it more potent. In other words, you’ll get more high from vaping it than from smoking it. In addition, some states with legal marijuana are proactively warning marijuana users that vaping liquids has been known to cause severe lung injuries and death due to the mix of oils in the THC juice.
Once you have quit using these products, enhanced microcirculation can aid in removing the toxins left over from inhaling these products. It is difficult for the body to absorb and distribute oxygen when one is chronically inhaling substances. However, microcirculation will increase vasodilation throughout the body, potentially reversing the effects of the damage of inhaling substances. Increasing microcirculation will also help increase blood flow throughout the brain, helping rid the body of THC, nicotine, and other toxins more quickly than the body your body would normally rid itself of them.
