As we know that cigarettes are also harmful for those without Diabetes, but they are very harmful for those with diabetes. It is very harmful.
When a person has diabetes, their blood may carry less oxygen because of the elevated glucose. Just with mismanaged diabetes alone, you risk losing limbs to amputation. Smoking also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, in part because of the carbon monoxide produced. There is also the nicotine, and it can dilate the blood vessels and restrict blood flow. That can reduce blood flow to the extremities, increase the risk of developing gangrene. It can also lead to Heart disease. Diabetics already have a higher risk for heart disease, infections, and amputations compared to those without diabetes, and smoking increases those risks. Also, since smoking increases the risk of cancer, and diabetes can complicate healing, it is possible that the cancer can be even more deadly for smokers with diabetes.
So in short, cigarettes are not safe for anyone. However, if a person is already smoking, diabetic or not, it is possible that the e-cigarettes are a little safer for them. Yes, they are still getting nicotine, but they are not getting carbon monoxide nor most of the carcinogens found in cigarette smoke. While it is better not to smoke at all, if you feel you must, e-cigarettes may be a safer equivalent to cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes have their own risks such as fire, explosion (poorly made or poorly charged batteries), or accidental poisoning from do-it-yourself refill kits.
