VAPING - an alternative to smoking ? | Dr Pal

Between alcohol and smoking, if my patients are willing to quit only one of them, I tell them to quit smoking. Smoking causes pancreatic cancer, which is a deadly disease with a survival usually less than 1-2 years. Vaping is a form of smoking cessation where they inhale and exhale an e-juice called propylene glycol and not nicotine. Vaping has so many chemicals like acrolein, diacetide, formaldehyde which can cause the same effect as smoking. I am certain that even vaping will also cause pancreatic cancer down the road - So, no smoking and no vaping. --- Dr. Palaniappan Manickam MD, MPH Internal Medicine | Gastroenterology | Epidemiologist --- For Tamil videos, please subscribe to my Tamil channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYxezj89xof3XRLFqly20VA Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dr-Pal-102856268051377 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.pal.manickam/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/drpal_manickam Join us on Telegram: https://t.me/Ask_Doc_Pal Email: askdocpal@gmail.com If you want to donate to AISHWARYAM TRUST, here are the details.
