Unlike vape products, purchase of cigarettes in Malaysia is restricted to only those aged 18 and above. Without any age regulations for the former, there have even been reports of vape users as young as 8 years old! These young nicotine addicts are not only exposed to the side effects and complications related to nicotine dependency, but also the health effects of various undetermined chemicals in different vape juices, as illustrated in the preceding point. According to the United States’ Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average age of patients suffering from vape-related lung complications in the recent wave is 19 years old, that’s barely two decades into life!
Vaping just isn’t worth it
While the definitive cause for vape-related lung complications and respiratory illnesses is still uncertain, researchers are painstakingly dotting their i’s and crossing their t’s in a bid to identify the compounds responsible for such drastic effects as seen in recent cases. The research process may take time to yield conclusive results, but health officials are taking no chances and urging the public to kick the habit of vaping. As for those who have transitioned from smoking cigarettes to vaping, perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate your choices and quit while you’re ahead – let not the smoke cloud your better judgement. To help Malaysian smokers give up the habit of smoking successfully, the government has increased the availability and the accessibility of the mQuit service.
