Smoking Plumtec or Plus "causes lung cancer" is a lie!

Let me begin with a conclusion,Plumtec users can rest assured that smoking Plumtec or Plumtec Plus cigarettes will cause lung cancer.

The reason why this is a lie is the structure of Plumtec and Plumtec Plus and the composition of the vapor they produce, but do you know why smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer in the first place?

Before explaining the structure and components of Plumtec and Plus, we will first explain why "smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer.

Why smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer

Smoking habits have been found to be a major cause of lung cancer. In Europe and the United States, the risk of lung cancer in men who smoke cigarettes is reported to be very high, at least 10 times higher than in men who do not smoke.

Excerpt from National Cancer Center

The reason why "lung cancer is more likely to occur" is that the smoke produced when cigarettes are burned contains many toxic and carcinogenic substances.

Typical examples of carcinogens in cigarette smoke
  • Benzo(a)pyrene
  • dimethylnitrosamine
  • Methylethylnitrosamine
  • diethylnitrosamine
  • benzene
  • formaldehyde

These carcinogens are,It is contained in tar, one of the three most toxic substances in cigarettesInhalation of tar together with smoke can cause lung cancer because it introduces carcinogenic substances into the body.

In other words, lung cancer is caused by,Caused by tar generated when tobacco leaves are burned.That is to say.

Do Plumtec and Plus produce tar?

Paper cigarettes induce lung cancer because of tar.But, then, the main question is, do Plumtec and Plus produce tar?

If it produces tar as well as paper cigarettes, then it "causes lung cancer" as rumored, but to know thatThe structure of Plumtec and Plus is well understood.

Note that the basic structure of both PlumTec and Plus are the same, so we will use PlumTec as an example from here on.

How PlumeTec generates vapor

How PlumeTec generates vapor
  • STEP01
    Electricity heats the liquid in the cartridge and produces vapor.
    Electricity heats the liquid in the cartridge and produces vapor.
  • STEP02
    The generated vapor passes through the "cigarette capsule".
    The generated vapor passes through the "cigarette capsule".
  • STEP03
    As it passes through, the nicotine, aroma, and flavor on the powder in the capsule adhere to the vapor and reach the mouth.
    As it passes through, the nicotine, aroma, and flavor on the powder in the capsule adhere to the vapor and reach the mouth.

As you can see, the tobacco leaf is not burned by fire, but only adheres to the ingredients when the vapor is dipped.

Also, the vapor is just generated by the liquid contained in the cartridge in the same way that water is boiled in an electric kettle,The system does not generate any tar.

No tar is generated, so no carcinogens are generated.

Since no tar is produced in the vapor generation process, no carcinogenic substances are produced. If no carcinogenic substances are generated, there is no causal relationship with lung cancer, so even if there were someone who developed lung cancer, it would not be caused by PlumTec, but by some other event.

In other words,Smoking a PlumTec does not cause lung cancer.This means.

As a side note, devices that heat tobacco leaves directly or even indirectly, such as Icos, Plume X, and Glow, have been shown to produce very small amounts of tar companions during heating.

However, compared to the amount contained in cigarette smoke, it is as good as nothing.Icos and other products reduce toxic substances by 90%, Plumtec and Plus reduce toxic substances by 99.91 TP3T.It could be done! This is also the basis for

Could Plumtec or Plus vapors contain carcinogens?

We know that tar is not generated structurally, but if the vapor generated in the first place contains carcinogens, it is not about the structure.

So, next, we looked into the composition of the "vapor" produced when you smoke a PlumTec.

Actually, the ingredients in the vapor have been officially announced, so we will start with the official details.

Composition of vapor when smoking Plumtec

Composition of vapor when smoking Plumtec

Occurs when you inhale with a PlumeTec.mist(in Japanese history)tobacco vaperIngredientsThe official website discloses the following information about.

Tobacco vapors produced during Plum Tec use include nicotine and other tobacco leaf-derived ingredients, as well as glycerin, propylene glycol, water, and flavoring.

Excerpt from JT official site

PlumeTec can be broken down into three parts due to its structure. Of the ingredients disclosed here, nicotine, tobacco leaf-derived ingredients, and flavoring are those contained in the "tobacco capsule".

Glycerin and propylene glycol are two components of the liquid in the cartridge that comes with the product.

Then, let's look at the composition of the liquid in the cigarette capsule and cartridge.

Ingredients in Tobacco Capsules

Ingredients in Tobacco Capsules

In the case of PlumeTec, the adsorption rate to the generated mist is the key point, but let us assume that the tobacco leaf used is the same as that of Mebius (Mebius).

Paper cigarettes: The nicotine content of Mobius is 0.8 mg per 0.8 g/smoke of tobacco leaf and 0.05 mg per 0.6 g/smoke of tobacco capsule, so we can say that only about one-twelfth (8.31 TP3T) is absorbed by the mist.

Some ingredients may be easily absorbed into the mist, while others may not,It is highly likely that the other ingredients in the cigarette capsule are not attached to the original 10% when it is inhaled..

About the nicotine content of cigarettes

It is said that 70% of the nicotine intake is influenced by the filter, 20% by adjustment by air holes, and about 10% by the type of tobacco leaf. Although there are many different brands of cigarettes, it is no exaggeration to say that the amount of nicotine and other substances that affect the amount of nicotine is mostly regulated by the filter.

Ingredients in Cartridge

Ingredients in Cartridge

You may have figured out that the inhalation of toxic substances by the cigarette capsule would be quite small, but what about the components contained in the other part (the cartridge)?

The role of each part of PlumeTec is simple: battery part = electricity, cartridge part = vapor generator, cigarette capsule = nicotine and flavor attached to the vapor generated, and so on.

This construction also shows that the ingredients in the cartridge are made from the same ingredients as the vape liquid!.

glycerin

glycerin

Because of its extremely low toxicity, glycerin is used in a variety of things, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

It is a type of alcohol, but it does not get you drunk just because you are in the company of others.

In particular, it is used almost exclusively in lotions and shampoos, and is also used in foods as a moisturizer and softener, making it a fairly familiar ingredient.

It is also the main ingredient in vape and other liquids,Mainly serves to retain moisture as a source of mistis.

propylene glycol

propylene glycol

It is low in toxicity and is one of the ingredients that are usually found in foods, cosmetics, medicines, and other products that we eat or use in our daily lives.

Like glycerin, propylene glycol is so commonplace that it is impossible to live without consuming any at all, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost harmless.

Because of its chemical carrying properties,Role in attaching tobacco capsule ingredients to the mistIt is believed that there are.

Plumtec and Plus vapors do not contain carcinogens.

The glycerin and propylene glycol in the cartridges are safe ingredients used throughout our daily lives, and they contain only trace amounts of the only harmful substance, nicotine.

At the same time, you can see that there are no "carcinogens" in the vapor produced, nor in the cigarette capsule nor in the liquid in the cartridge.

Nicotine is contained in trace amounts, though, so it is not harmless,Tobacco products that are as non-toxic as possibleYou can see that it is.

As you can see from the explanation so far, I would love to hear how a PlumTec can cause lung cancer.

Some studies have shown that using a Plum Tec is "as effective as quitting smoking.

This is the result of a clinical trial supervised by a professor at the Kitasato University School of Medicine's Clinical Research Center, who found that continued use of PlumTec was as effective as quitting smoking.

In the clinical trial, two groups of smokers were divided into two groups, one group quit smoking and the other group smoked only PlumTech, and the degree of reduction of toxic substances, including carcinogens, was examined.

When you quit smoking, toxic substances are reduced from your body, so that's why you compared them.

The results showed that the group that smoked Plum Tec reduced toxic substances as much as the group that quit smoking, confirming an effect equivalent to quitting smoking.

Smoking Plumtec or Plus "causes lung cancer" is a lie! Summary

It probably goes without saying by now, but it is structurally and compositionally impossible for a person to get lung cancer from smoking a Plum Tec.

Besides, this low toxicity is remarkable, isn't it?

Although the lack of smoking is one of the best, Plumtec and Plus are as close to harmless as possible among the many tobacco products available, so if you are thinking about quitting smoking or your health, why not consider using Plumtec?

    Thanks for your hard work (^. ^)
    I always appreciate reading your articles from various angles.
    As a heated cigarette user, one thing I can say with certainty is that the air is not polluted even when smoking in a closed room.
    However, it is only [as far as it can be seen (visually)] (;^_^A
    I have a humidifying air purifier of a certain major electronics manufacturer running in my room.
    When I was using paper cigarettes, the water in the filter and humidification part of this air purifier [turned] quite brown in a week, but after switching to heated cigarettes, it is almost no longer brown.
    When wiping computer monitors and LCD TV screens, the cleaner no longer turns brown and dirty as it did in the days of paper cigarettes.
    I believe this is due to the fact that the [tar] that used to be produced from paper cigarettes is no longer produced.
    Although there may be other harmful substances emitted that cannot be seen, I believe that the amount of harm to my health has been reduced even if only because this [tar] is no longer emitted (;^_^A).

    • KEN.

      Yes - to be honest, we can only experience it on a visual level.

      But as you say, just the fact that the yarns are gone is a great thing!

      Cigarettes = smoke, so the only thing left to do now is to get the elites to prove various things.

      Recently, there seems to have been news that heated cigarettes are harmful! It is natural, because they contain nicotine.

      I hope you can get the proper data soon.

    Sorry for the long absence........
    We are playing with cigarette capsules without replacing them much ← Hey (-_-;)

    I see that Johns Hopkins University recently released a report on how much exposure to toxic metals is caused by e-cigarettes.
    I was wondering if e-cigarette users would be targeted because the number of cigarette smokers has declined.
    Smokers with narrow shoulders despite paying more in taxes....

    • Kikumaru.

      It's been a while since I've seen you - I wish you the best of luck!

      I have read that report as well.

      You know, the ones that are mixed with toxic metallic substances.

      I think it's best not to worry about it anymore.

      No matter what you do, if you get even the slightest questionable result, it's dangerous anyway! If any questionable result is found, it is as if they are shouting "Danger!

      I have no complaints as long as I am entertained as I have always been, without causing trouble to others (sweat).
