'Tobacco has been around for hundreds of years so research into its effects is extensive, but vapes are only 20 years old, which means we know far less about the impact they're actually having on us.' -Dr. Parisha Acharya
Charlotte Priest showing the skin dryness she believes was caused by vaping.spokesperson, also notes that burns have been reported due to the heat of the lithium batteries in vapes. She adds:"Nickel, which is one of the most common causes of contact dermatitis, is present in the heating coils of vapes and has been reported to cause redness and itching on hands."
Priest is not alone in her experience. Six months after starting to use disposable vapes regularly, London-based Rachel Aduya, 22, found that her face became increasingly itchy, irritated, and sensitive."My face was so sore, I found that I couldn’t use any of my usual skin-care products on it without it burning up," Aduya says.
The most concerning part of the overall impact of vaping for both Dr. Wedgeworth and Dr. Acharya , is that because widespread use of e-cigarettes is relatively recent, our collective knowledge pertaining to their long-term health effects is limited. "Tobacco has been around for hundreds of years so research into its effects is extensive, but vapes are only 20 years old, which means we know far less about the impact they’re actually having on us," Dr. Acharya says."From a medical perspective, there is a belief that getting people off cigarettes by vaping is the best route because they still get some sort of nicotine fix.
For those who are struggling to wean themselves off vapes, Dr. Acharya’s guidance is clear."Smokers' general skin concern tends to be that they notice that their skin is dry, dehydrated, and dull," she says."If you can use a nicotine substitute, like gum, to kick the habit, then your skin’s barrier function will eventually begin to return to normal, which will help your skin cells to renew once again. Just give it time.
