[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] The Legislative Yuan will pass the "Amendment to the Tobacco Hazard Control Law" on the third reading the day before yesterday (12th), completely banning e-cigarettes, and will also regulate the smoke body and its carrier of heated cigarettes.

Dentists pointed out that the components of e-cigarettes can promote the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, and the use of e-cigarettes will cause damage to the oral cavity and increase the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Dentist Ou Kaijie posted on the Facebook page "Ou Kaijie Dr.Ou Dentist Club" that American studies have found that patients who use e-cigarettes have a higher risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease.

The study conducted a survey of 13,980 patients aged 16-40 in the clinic attached to the dental school, and found that as many as 80% of patients who used e-cigarettes were at high risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease; while patients who did not use e-cigarettes, Only 60% of patients belong to high-risk tooth decay and periodontal disease patients.

Research has shown a link between e-cigarette use and the risk of tooth decay: People who use e-cigarettes have a higher risk of developing tooth decay.

Okagen also stated that patients who use e-cigarettes will increase the risk of tooth decay/periodontal disease, because the components of e-cigarettes can promote the growth of bacteria in the mouth.

I also appeal to everyone not to have the myth that e-cigarettes are less harmful.
