According to Tribunaonline on July 30, the Brazilian Espirito Santo State Health Department (Sesa) issued a warning to remind people of the risks of using vape devices. The Ministry of Health emphasized that in Brazil, the production, import, sale, distribution, storage, transportation and advertising of all vape devices are prohibited. In addition, according to the regulations issued this year by the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), the use of any vape device is also prohibited in a closed environment.
The Ministry of Health warned that vapes are a derivative of tobacco and are related to chronic tobacco dependence caused by nicotine addiction in tobacco products. Experts believe that these devices may be an entry product for other forms of tobacco use and lead to addiction.
Kristiane Rocha Moreira Soneghet, a pulmonologist in the metropolitan area of the Regional Specialty Center (CRE), said.
“These devices contain a certain level of nicotine, which may indeed lead people to use other forms of tobacco and maintain their dependence on nicotine. The attractiveness of the aroma may also lead to this habit.”
Dr. Christian further pointed out that it is very important to popularize the harm of vapes. Because vapes have different tastes and smells from ordinary cigarettes, young people, especially, often think that it is harmless to health.
“This misunderstanding makes it difficult for many people to realize the harm of vapes, causing users to be more resistant to quitting vapes. It is important to understand that most vapes contain nicotine. Even vapes that do not contain nicotine have harmful factors. vape vaporization is not just water. These substances directly contact the respiratory tract and cause irritation, leading to coughing, bronchitis or severe acute inflammation, and even lung failure, such as EVALI (vape-induced lung injury).”
“Vapes are also related to cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease, and may cause myocardial infarction and peripheral circulatory system diseases such as thrombosis. In addition, both ordinary cigarettes and vapes contain potential carcinogens,”
In the state of Espirito Santo, the supervision of vapes is jointly implemented by the state health supervision department (VISA), the Ministry of Health (Sesa), the state consumer protection and defense institute (Procon), the consumer police department and the state public prosecutor’s office (MPES). Relevant departments carry out educational actions for youth groups. In addition, the public can also make relevant comments through the E-OUV system of the state general audit office.
As an vape brand that focuses on consumer health and compliance, Guutuu attaches great importance to this warning. Guutuu has been committed to providing stable and reliable vape products and actively complying with relevant regulations and standards of various countries.
Nicotine is an ingredient in vapes that may cause tobacco dependence and become an entry-level product for other tobacco products. Experts warn that vapes are not harmless products and may cause respiratory problems, lung diseases and even lung failure, and the risks cannot be ignored.
Guutuu calls on users to look at vape products rationally. It is important to understand the potential harm of vapes, especially to educate young people about science. vapes contain nicotine, and even nicotine-free products have harmful factors. Their atomized substances may irritate the respiratory tract and cause various health problems.
In the state of Espiritu Santo, relevant departments jointly carry out supervision and carry out educational publicity activities for young people. Guutuu will continue to be committed to providing users with vape products that comply with regulations and standards, advocate rational vape use concepts, and jointly safeguard the rights and interests of the majority of users. I hope that every consumer can maintain health awareness and recognize the potential hazards while enjoying vapes.
