Electronic cigarettes with higher levels of nicotine can be a gateway to tobacco use, researchers compared the nicotine concentration in e-cigarettes to smoking behavior in e-cigarette smokers.
They discovered that half of e-cigarettes smokers with high levels of nicotine will smoke tobacco cigarettes six months later. The study warns about the difficulty in distinguishing levels of nicotine in e-cigarettes due to mislabeling, which can lead to dependency on tobacco products.
Nicotine has mood-elevating and addictive effects, smoking e-cigarettes with stronger nicotine concentrations may be less willing to stop vaping and be more inclined to use other nicotine products, like conventional cigarettes.
The nicotine amounts in e-cigarettes can be divided into four categories: none, low (1-5mg/ml of nicotine), medium (6-17mg/ml of nicotine) and high (18mg/ml or more of nicotine).
Smoking e-cigarette can leads to smoking of tobacco cigarettes after six months.
Nicotine is addictive and may affect the brain development by increasing the risk of attention problems and depression. Smoking-related diseases caused by tobacco use are heart problems and cancers.
