Fans of wipes can part with a half of their lungs. Particularly dangerous fascination with delicious “steamers” for adolescents. Some even transplant the lungs.
When the lungs are cracking
In Tomsk, adolescents revealed vapors’ disease – the so -called Evali syndrome. One child was officially diagnosed, in another, the disease is described as follows: “toxic effects of smoking mixtures on the central nervous system.” Evali syndrome is also called “popcorn disease”, since when listening to the affected lungs make a sound that looks like a crack of bursting popcorn.
As AIF.RU said Doctor Morozov Clinical Hospital, Associate Professor of Sechenov University, Expert of the Popular Front. Analytics “, Doctor of Medical Sciences Pavel Berezhanskysuch patients came to doctors before, it is very difficult to treat them. Some health restrictions after such children’s hobbies remain for life, or even lead to disability.
“In our country, adolescents have been actively hovering vapes since the 2020s, although the problem has existed around the world for the second decade, when the first steam rooms appeared from 2007-2010. It seems to be that a person simply inhales steam, which falls only into the lungs. In fact, wards are striking the whole body, ”said the pediatrician.
Smoke for 3-4 years
The doctor said that if the child smokes wards constantly, then after a few months the lesion of the lungs can reach 90%: “We have been treated by a teenager of 16 years old, who used a vape approximately a bubble per day. Three months later, almost nothing was left of his lungs. He could not breathe, with difficulty pronounced only “no” or “yes”, constantly needed oxygen, lost 10 kg, he constantly had temperature, hemoptysis. He lay in intensive care for several months, but 40% of the lungs will not recover from him. ”
Unfortunately, children often come to doctors 12-13 years old, who have been smoking for three to four years and even five years. Parents and doctors cannot always immediately determine the problem. It is not clear why bronchitis develops. The child has rare coughing, and nothing more.
And at this time, scars are formed on the lungs. “Vitamin E, like useful, with vapes enters the lungs, where it is completely not needed, sticks to the walls of the respiratory system,” the doctor continues. “As a result, micro -explosions arise on the mucosa, a scar is formed in this place, the protective function of the mucosa is disturbed, and bacteria, viruses, and mushrooms easily sit there.”
If ordinary pneumonia, uncomplicated tonsillitis pass in 6-7 days, then in this group of patients they last 10-14 days. Because your immunity is no longer working.
They risk becoming barren
However, lung defeat is not the only consequence of the smoking of wipes. Teenagers soar because it is tasty and sweet. And this is a big problem.
“Weips also affect reproductive health,” the doctor explains. – A large number of carbohydrates from steam fall into mitochondria – structures that produce energy in the cell. Both sperm and eggs suffer. They just stop moving due to excess sugar in them. There was a girl who had to undergo ovarian surgery, too, after the fascination with vapes. We have adolescents with oncology of the buccal region – this is also 100% provoked by vapes. The constant intake of sugar and antioxidants disrupts cell division, many defective DNAs appear, the cells are converted into cancer. ”
Also, according to the doctor, in adolescents who often soar, you can see a tendency to accumulate excess body weight. The body does not know where to put carbohydrates, it begins to lay them into adipose tissue, a metabolic syndrome develops. And then this can lead to diabetes.
Sometimes parents themselves buy wards, believing that it is better a child smokes them than cigarettes. Others do not notice a dangerous hobby for a long time. If in the case of cigarettes you can smell tobacco from a teenager, then when using vakes it just smells delicious. And most importantly – it gives pleasure.
“When toxic substances fall into the lungs and clog blood vessels, microgypoxia (oxygen starvation) occurs,” the doctor explains. – In response, dopamine is produced and a high a buzz is caught a buzz. But the moment comes when you do not get the pleasure of the usual dose, you need to soar more. The negative consequences are accumulated and lead to irreversible changes. ”
