Elektronik sigara(e-sigara) geleneksel sigara gibi bir görüntüsü olan ve sigara içiyormuş gibi bir his veren kalem veya aksesuar şeklinde tasarlanmış bir nikotin kaynağıdır. E-sigaranın normal sigaradan daha az zararlı olduğu düşünülse de bu düşünce e-sigara kullanımının güvenli olduğu anlamına gelmez. E-sigaraların aerosol şeklindeki buharının içinde nikotin, akciğerlerin derinliklerine inebilecek ultra ince tanecikler, ciddi akciğer hastalıklarına sebep olabilecek kimyasallardan olan diasetil aroma gibi maddeler, uçucu organik bileşikler, kansere yol açan kimyasal maddeler, nikel, kalay ve kurşun gibi ağır metaller gibi zararlı birçok madde bulunmaktadır. E-sigaralar, sigarayı bırakma yöntemi olarak FDA tarafından onaylanmamıştır. Türkiye’de, Sağlık Bakanlığı da dahil verilen uğraşlarla bu tip ürünlerin reklamı, satışı ve pazarlanmasına sınırlama getirilmiş; tıbbi bir ürün olmadığı gerçeği halka yansıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, e-sigara dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de kullanımı giderek artması beklenen bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Diğer taraftan sağlık personelinin ve toplumun e-sigaranın zararları konusunda eğitilmesi, e-sigaraya karşı doğru tutumu sergilemelerinde yardımcı olacaktır.

Abstract:

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is a nicotine source designed in the form of a pen or accessory that looks like a traditional cigarette and feels like a cigarette. Although e-cigarettes are considered to be less harmful than normal cigarettes, this does not mean that e-cigarettes are safe to use. The aerosolized vapor of e-cigarettes contains many harmful substances such as nicotine, ultrafine particles which can penetrate into the depths of the lungs, substances such as diacetyl aroma which can cause serious lung diseases, volatile organic compounds, chemical substances that cause cancer, heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead. E-cigarettes are not approved by the FDA as a way to quit smoking. In Turkey, Ministry of Health, including the advertised deal with this type of product, sales and marketing, a restriction was imposed; the fact that it is not a medical product has been tried to be reflected to the public. As a result, e-cigarette is a public health problem that is expected to increase in use in our country as well as in the world. On the other hand, training of healthcare personnel and the community about the harms of e-cigarette will help in demonstrating correct attitude towards e-cigarette.
