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. Pal i really like your way of sharing all this important health information with us. I’d like to share about my father who passed away in February because of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, which is as diagnosed only in October last year. He was 72 years old, vegetarian, never smoked and very rarely had alcohol, was going for morning walks regularly and doing meditation too. Doctors didn’t have the answer when we asked of the reason of developing pancreatic cancer. Can you please tell us the reason so that us and your other subscribers will take the lesson and take care of our body.

fun fact: early e-cigarettes we’re made for people to quit, so they would put steam in it. had to help them, right? it went on to cause wet lung and in this scenario they just had to cut off the part of the lung with water in it because there was no way of getting it out without damaging the lung.
