Warnings Issued on Dangers of E-cigarettes in Iowa
Health experts in Iowa warn of dangers of e-cigarettes, saying they can lead to addiction and respiratory issues.

Local health experts in Sioux City, Iowa, USA have issued a warning about the dangers of electronic cigarettes and their association with health risks.


Electronic cigarettes containing nicotine are highly addictive, despite the common belief that they are less harmful than traditional cigarettes. Experts caution that electronic cigarettes are not subject to any safety regulations by health organizations, which does not mean they do not pose a significant threat to human health.


Initially thought to be a safer alternative to cigarettes, electronic cigarettes are proving to be otherwise," says Dr. David Ensz. People who use e-cigarettes are at a higher risk of respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia. Similar to traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes still contain toxic ingredients.


According to the doctor, electronic cigarette cartridges contain toxic chemicals that are disguised as vitamin E. When heated and inhaled into the lungs, these chemicals can cause inflammation and subsequent damage.
