Simulation shows what would happen to your body if you vaped every day for 30 days

An eye-opening simulation has detailed what happens to your body if you were to vape every day for a period of 30 days.

While vapes were previously seen as a healthier alternative for those hoping to quit cigarettes, our understanding into the nicotine-fuelled product remains hazy at this time.

As a result, experts are continuing to highlight the dangers of taking up vaping, and a viral simulation video has highlighted some of the dangers to be mindful of.

The video, shared by Untold Healing, explained how your brain's chemistry will change from just one puff of a blue raspberry vape.

"Nicotine floods your brain receptors within seven seconds, triggering dopamine release," the simulation went on to say. "You're brain is rewiring itself to need that hit.

Scientists say that nicotine can reach the brain in as little as ten seconds, suggesting that damage is being done within seconds of using a vape.

I think it's generally believed that smoking is worse than vaping, but that is not to say having a puff on a tangy flavor is a good idea.

The simulation went on to explain that lung damage can begin in as a little as three days, with symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and breathing difficulties presenting themselves just three three weeks into vaping every day.

There's also cardiovascular changes to be aware of, with the simulation claiming that your heart rate increases by four beats per minute and your chance of having a heart attack also rises.

After 30 days of vaping every day, the simulation states you're 'fully dependent', which makes it more difficult to give up.

Discussing the risks, Michael Blaha explained to John Hopkins Medicine: "People need to understand that e-cigarettes are potentially dangerous to your health. Emerging data suggests links to chronic lung disease and asthma, as well as associations between dual use of e-cigarettes and smoking with cardiovascular disease. You’re exposing yourself to all kinds of chemicals that we don’t yet understand and that are probably not safe."

If you're considering taking up vaping, it's important to remember the total outlook on what vaping can do to your body remains unclear at this time.

Dr Andrew Freeman, who spoke with the University of Utah, said: "Our lungs are not a good organ to absorb substances for recreational use. They are an incredible organ, providing our bodies with vital oxygen and exchanging carbon dioxide, all while protecting us from infections and other harmful elements from our environment."

He added: "We all begin to slowly lose lung function after about our early to mid-20s, and yet they must last us a lifetime.

"If people don’t take care of their lungs, they really suffer more difficulties breathing later in life due to habits such as vaping.”
