E-cigarette can cause lung diseases

E-cigarettes lead to as many lung diseases as tobacco products,
researchers compared saliva samples from tobacco smokers, e-cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. They found that e-cigarette smokers were likely to develop dangerous proteins associated with lung diseases such as COPD and cystic fibrosis and that the devices are not better for people than regular cigarettes.

E-cigarettes might not be the ideal alternative smokers addicted to tobacco are looking for. Previous research has proven that e-cigarettes can cause lifelong damage to the heart, one puff of an e-cigarette is all it takes to increase the risk of having a heart attack. E-cigarette smokers have elevated levels of neutrophil-extracellular-trap NET related proteins in their airways. NET proteins fight off pathogens, but increased levels of them can lead to inflammatory lung illnesses.

E-cigarettes are as dangerous as smoking - just ONE puff could be all it takes to increase the risk of a heart attack. E-cigarettes do inflict life-long damage on nonsmokers' hearts that is similar to tobacco cigarettes. Replacing tobacco products with e-cigarettes is dangerous, some of the flavoring agents and other products used in e-cigarettes are toxic.

The proteins are associated with COPD and cystic fibrosis, both of which make it hard for patients to breathe. E-cigarette smokers also have increased NET levels outside of their lungs, according to the study. This can cause cell death in tissues that line organs and blood vessels. E-cigarette smokers have an increased risk of suffering from bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis and wheezing. E-cigarettes is as bad as tobacco cigarettes

Improper chewing of foods can cause choking

Laughing or talking while eating is the primary cause of choking, throwing objects into the air to then catch in the mouth, and cutting food up into perfect circles for children can also contribute to choking.

Choking can prevent speaking, crying, coughing and breathing which can leads to unconsciousness and death.
In such an event the NHS guidance is to give the person five sharp blows on the back, followed by five abdominal thrusts - known as the Heimlich manoeuver .

When someone is choking, no oxygen is reaching their brain. Hence, not chewing food properly can kill within ten minutes. Brain damage is possible after four minutes of choking, while it is expected if the airways have not been cleared after eight minutes.

People who start choking should perform the Heimlich manoeuver on themselves. Using a chair, adults can generate enough pressure to dislodge something stuck in their airways, giving yourself a Heimlich manoeuver could save your life.

If you find yourself choking, find yourself a chair to perform the Heimlich manoeuver, line your abdomen area up to the flat back of a chair for the best way of targeting the airways. Use both hands to grip the chair and then push against it to exert enough force to try and dislodge the obstruction. Chokers should put a bunched fist in the space just underneath their rib cage and tummy button.

Cleaning products can increase the risk of lungs cancer

Common household disinfectants like bleach, hydrogen peroxide and alcohol   increase the risk of developing lung disease, regular exposure to these cleaning agents increases the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD.

COPD is a group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties including emphysema, where there is damage to the air sacs in the lungs, or chronic bronchitis which is the long-term inflammation of the airways.

Disinfectants like glutaraldehyde, a strong disinfectant used for medical instruments, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol and quaternary ammonium compounds known as ‘quats’, used for low-level disinfection of surfaces such as floors and furniture are linked with COPD.

Breathing in the strong cleaning chemicals while using them can increase the risk. Working as a cleaner and using these disinfectants regularly increase the risk of COPD.

Moldy house causes asthma

Mould triggers asthma, visible mould in homes is associated with the beginning of wheezing in children, mould and leaks may be be found in the bedrooms and homes of children who had just started wheezing compared to the children who had never wheezed.

The more mould, the greater the risk that children would start wheezing. The use of extractor fans, avoiding drying of clothes inside the room and opening the windows for fresh air may reduce the growth of mold.

Asthma is a condition that affects the airways,common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, breathlessness and having a tight chest.

 Researchers assessed the homes of children showing symptoms of asthma and discovered that condensation, damp and mould are present in their  rooms, mold will make asthma worse if you already have it and increase the risk of having it if you don't.

 Mould and leaks were more likely to be found in the bedrooms and homes of children who had just started wheezing compared to the children who had never wheezed.
