Five million of Marnie Simpson’s Instagram followers have received a warning from her regarding vaping. The Geordie Shore star and media personality admitted that she “had mild gum disease” and blamed vaping for it.
The 30-year-old mother of two expressed her opinions about vaping on Instagram’s Ask Me A Question function. In response to a fan’s query, “How is quitting the vape? Marnie expressed her opinions on e-cigarettes, saying, “I am really struggling.
“Well, I found out that the vape has caused slight gum disease in my bottom gums,” Marnie wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Luckily, it’s reversible as I caught it early and have only vaped for two months, but I knew this as I had sore gums a few days after vaping. I guess some people are more sensitive to the chemicals than others like me.”
In 2005, when vaping first gained popularity as a way to quit smoking, lung and heart health were among the health issues brought up. The emphasis has now shifted to oral health, particularly gum disease.
The usage of e-cigarettes is still up for debate, despite the fact that some medical professionals still believe vaping to be a safer option to smoking. The NHS claims that e-cigarettes, often known as vapes, are much safer than cigarettes and can aid in quitting smoking permanently.
The NHS claims that e-cigarettes are subject to strict safety and quality regulations. They admit that while there is some danger associated with vaping, it is much lower than that of smoking.
However, the 1924-founded nonprofit American Heart Association (AHA) elaborates on the negative impacts of vaping on oral health. The Texas A&M College of Dentistry assistant professor, Dr. Crystal Stinson, is quoted by the AHA as saying: “Studies on their influence are fairly fresh. However, there is now a substantial body of research demonstrating the connection between e-cigarette use and poor oral health.
This assertion is supported by a study published in iScience that claims that the aerosol from e-cigarettes “alters host response and increases gum inflammation.” This might be explained by the various oral conditions experienced by vapers and non-vapers.
According to a study cited by Taboola Dental Nursing, users of e-cigarettes have a distinct oral microbiome, a population of bacteria and other microorganisms, that is less healthy than non-smokers but maybe healthier than smokers of cigarettes.
According to professors of molecular pathobiology at NYU College of Dentistry, this is the first continuous research of e-cigarette usage and oral health. The effects of e-cigarettes and the chemicals they contain on the oral microbiome and bacterial balance are only now starting to be understood.
