Why new generation cigarettes cause serious increase in uric acid

Hương Giang (Theo Healthline) |

Electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products can cause smokers to rapidly increase uric acid.

Meanwhile, uric acid is the main factor causing gout.

Oxidative stress

Nicotine in e-cigarettes can increase oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and the body's antioxidant capacity.

When oxidative stress increases, the body may produce more uric acid to fight these free radicals.

Arthritis

Nicotine can cause arthritis, a contributing factor to the development of gout.

Arthritis can increase the risk of developing gout, as inflammation is an important factor in the development and progression of this disease.

Effects on the immune system

E-cigarettes may affect the body's immune system, reducing its ability to fight off inflammation and disease.

This can increase your risk of developing inflammatory diseases, including gout.

Impact on children

Flavorings in e-cigarettes can be attractive to young children, leading to a risk of poisoning if children come into contact or inhale them.

According to statistics from the poison control center in the United States, up to 42% of people poisoned by e-cigarettes are children under 6 years old.

The rate of smoking is constantly increasing and is more common in men. For men, cigarette smoke also greatly affects physiological problems.

Cigarette smoke affects the Leydig hormone factory. This reduces the amount of testosterone in the body, causing men to lose their desire and their “masculinity”.

The toxic components will enter the blood vessels through the smoking process, causing atherosclerosis and narrowing of the blood vessels. This limits blood circulation to other parts of the body including the penis.

Toxins in cigarette smoke cause a decrease in the quantity and quality of male sperm. Smoking during the period of sperm “development” will cause negative changes in quantity and quality. Sperm shape is deformed, tailless, and immobile. The quantity can be reduced by up to 23% compared to non-smoking men.

Recently, the National Assembly agreed to ban the production, trading, import, storage, transportation, and use of electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products, gases, and addictive substances that are harmful to human health from 2025, ensuring public health, social order, and safety.

The decision by the Vietnamese National Assembly to ban e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products is considered a major victory in the fight against tobacco harm. This is a strong step to prevent the spread of these products, protect public health and reduce the burden on the health system.
