Cancer sores

Some users may at some point experience canker sores, and these seem to be most common in the beginning when vaping. As many users describe, this seems to be related to nicotine content of the vaping liquid and are more often than not caused when the vaping liquid comes in contact with the lips or the mouth (which often happens in the beginning). So be sure to rinse the area thoroughly with water if that happens.

Hiccups, Dizziness, Sleepiness

Not so uncommon amongst vaping ingénues, these symptoms may or may not arise in everyone but they are signs that you may need lower concentrations of nicotine. Therefore if you experience such symptoms when vaping, just step your nicotine concentration down.

Second Hand Vaping

As most of us are careful when it comes to passive smoking, it seems this practice has transferred to vaping, as many fear it may have a negative effect on those inhaling the second hand vapor. A study of the World Health Organization from 2012 has proven that passive vaping leaves no effects on neither the second hand smokers, nor the smokers who indeed used the blucigs.

Infection Risk

Some users fear that storing cartomizers for long periods of time may promote the development of mold that then might cause serious respiratory infections when inhaled. This would sound alarming if it were true, but to ease the mind of E-Cigarette users, here is a small explanation as to why this is not accurate. Microorganisms need certain conditions to be met in order to flourish, these usually consist of high humidity (over 85%) and temperature levels, as well as food in the form of simple sugars. The good thing is that propylene glycol actually prevents mold growth because it keeps the humidity level at 70% and prevents water uptake.

These are of course just some issues that might concern users, but rest assured, even if we’ve missed some of them, studies show that there are virtually no health concerns related to vaping. So relax, sit down on your terrace and enjoy an evening with some nice tea or coffee and a quick vape.

A Missed Period

One of the most frequently discussed early pregnancy symptoms is a missed period. Most women will worry when this occur. It’s always a good idea to keep track of your menstrual cycle. In case you don’t, or if yours is irregular, the situation can become further complicated. Also remember that it is not uncommon for women to actually be pregnant and still have one period overlap with the pregnancy. The period alone is never a reliable sign of pregnancy.

Sore Breasts

Many women are accustomed to experiencing this sensation when they are PMS-ing. All your bras suddenly appear to have shrunk, you can barely sleep on either side, and your chest is swollen, tender and in a sort of dull, constant pain. The reason why this is cited as one of the early pregnancy symptoms is that, at the onset of pregnancy, the body prepares to produce milk, in order for the yet unborn baby to be breastfed. Hormones are released into the body and most often the nipples become particularly painful and sore. They sometimes even change color and turn into a darker shade or become slightly brownish. Female breasts are an evolutionary trait that developed for the precise purpose of feeding the infant. They play an essential role in child-bearing and the new sensation of tenderness and soreness is just the breasts adapting to your new status.

Morning Sickness

This is one of those pregnancy symptoms you might be tempted to believe is a Hollywood movie cliché, especially if no one close to you has been pregnant, or if you are at your first pregnancy. However, it is entirely true that many women will develop an aversion to certain foods and smells during the time they are pregnant. This sensation will be accompanied by an inexplicable sensation of nausea, not caused by the ingestion of any particular type of food. Most often, morning sickness is caused by the hormones racing through your body, with which it is not accustomed and will need time to adapt to. During the morning sickness stage you might find that your typical breakfast is becoming harder to palate than usual… and that it’s even more difficult to keep the food down in your stomach.
