March 8, 2024 Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ruengrudee Pathanwanit, Lecturer, Department of Community Medicine Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Revealing new research just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which is considered the world’s leading medical journal, by Dr. Stanton Glance, a world-class tobacco control expert. and a team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, the conclusions of the research clearly indicate that E-cigarettes are no less dangerous than regular cigarettes in major diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Metabolic disease and oral diseases This research compiles studies that include epidemiological studies on the risks of e-cigarettes for various diseases. From around the world from 2005 – 2023, including 107 studies. The results were then analyzed to compare health risks between smoking e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes. Compared to smoking normal cigarettes only. Including comparing each type of smoking with not smoking at all.
Assoc.Prof.Dr.Rerngrudee said that he found interesting results. 1. Do not support the issue that people who used to smoke regular cigarettes and then switch to electronic cigarettes are more likely to have coronary heart disease. Stroke and metabolic diseases Less than ordinary smokers 2. Support the issue of e-cigarette smokers being more likely to have heart disease. Metabolic diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and more oral diseases than non-smokers 3. Support the issue of people who smoke both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes. Increased risk of cardiovascular disease Stroke Metabolic diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and oral diseases On average 20-40% more than smoking just one type of cigarette, but if compared to non-smokers It was found that people who smoke both types of cigarettes have an average 2-3 times increased risk of all diseases.
Dr. Stanton Glance, head of the research team, said that this study found that the health risks of e-cigarettes are comparable to those of regular cigarettes. The study undermines all arguments that e-cigarettes, as they are used, are an effective harm reduction tool for smokers. This is because the dangers of using e-cigarettes are not different from smoking cigarettes. And in fact, smokers who switch to e-cigarettes often end up smoking both. which will increase the danger It does not reduce harm like the e-cigarette business claims.
Prof. Nop Prakit Watheesathokkit, president of the Foundation for the Anti-Smoking Campaign, said that the Doctors Network for a Smoke-Free Canada Propose that the Canadian government review its policy. “Tobacco harm reduction” by recommending it to regular smokers Changed to smoking only electronic cigarettes since 2018, or 6 years ago, but the latest information found that Only 27% of Canadians who smoke e-cigarettes, or about one in four, are regular smokers who have switched to smoking e-cigarettes only. There are 34% who smoke both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes, and up to 40% who have never. Smoked regular cigarettes before
“This latest research found that E-cigarettes are no less dangerous than regular cigarettes. From statistics, there are up to 40% of people who smoke e-cigarettes who have never smoked regular cigarettes before, so it is clear information that If measured at the population level E-cigarettes are more dangerous than regular cigarettes. Due to the fact that there are new people who smoke electronic cigarettes that will be as dangerous as people who smoke normal cigarettes The Thai government must consider policies to deal with e-cigarettes as carefully as possible,” said Prof. Nop Prakit.
