In 2023, about 30.8 million adults in the U.S. still smoked cigarettes, andnearly 9% of middle and high school students reported using e-cigarettes (vapes).Interestingly, many individuals who know the benefits of quitting smoking or vaping have found success by incorporating supplemental oxygen into their routines. At Oxygen Plus (O+), weare dedicated to providing high-quality, portable oxygensolutions that can supportyour goals of a healthier lifestyle. To that end,let’s learn a bit of science about how smoking and vapingaffectsthe production of oxygen in the human body–and then see how O+oxygenmight be a toolyou’ll want to add to your toolshed! 

How Smoking and Vaping Affect Oxygen Production 

Smoking and vaping introduce harmful chemicals into the body, which can interfere with its natural ability to produce andutilize oxygen. Nicotine and other substances in cigarettes and e-cigarettes(vape pens)can constrict blood vessels and reduce the efficiency of the respiratory system. This leads to decreased oxygen levels in the bloodstream, making it harder for the body to function optimally.Let’s dig into the biological effect vaping and smoking can have on the human body: 

• Reduced Oxygen Carrying Capacity:  Nicotine and carbon monoxide from smoking bind to hemoglobin in red blood cells more effectively than oxygen does. This reduces the amount of oxygen that can be carried to tissues and organs. 
• Impaired Lung Function:  Smoking damages the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen exchange occurs. This damage reduces the lung’s capacity to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. 
• Inflammation and Constriction of Airways:  Both smoking and vaping can cause inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it harder for air to flow in and out of the lungs. This results in decreased oxygen intake. 
• Reduced Oxygen Production: The chemicals in cigarettes and e-cigarettes can interfere with cellular respiration, the process by which cells produce energy and oxygen. This interference leads to lower overall oxygen levels in the body. 

The damage to key oxygen production mechanisms in our body sheds light on whybreathing Oxygen Plus can help counteract these effects and support your body's natural oxygen production, aiding in the recovery process as you quit smoking or vaping. Yet the benefits go beyond the physical. Customers report they arepsychological, too!
