Add one smaller, cyan-colored particle (same style as the other virus particles) slightly to the right side next to the existing ones in the top section by the woman's exhaled aerosol.

Change the entire background to pure white (#FFFFFF).

In the third text block, replace the final sentence so it reads exactly: "E-cigarette aerosol is considered hazardous to humans."

A woman with light brown, shoulder-length hair is shown inhaling from an e-cigarette. She wears a teal long-sleeved shirt and holds a black and navy blue e-cigarette in her right hand. A light blue cloud of aerosol is exhaled from her mouth. Floating near the aerosol cloud are three virus-like icons in different shades of blue, symbolizing harmful particles or contaminants.

In the bottom right corner, there are three larger virus-like icons in varying shades of blue, reinforcing the theme of airborne health risks.

E-Cigarette Health Risks & Uncertainties

See "The chronic effects of e-cigarettes remain unclear due to variability in study populations and a lack of consensus on what constitutes long-term exposure—ranging from as soon as 1 month to several years. Some experts believe the real long-term effects of e-cigarettes may only become apparent after decades."[1]

E-CIGARETTE HEALTH RISKS & UNCERTAINTIES

NICOTINE EXPOSURE Still addictive and harmful, especially for youth and pregnant women.

AEROSOL CONTENTS May contain toxicants like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and heavy metals.

SECOND-HAND EXPOSURE Not harmless—potential risks to bystanders.

LONG-TERM EFFECTS Largely unknown due to limited data.

New infographic: User:QuackGuru/Sand C.

Create a new infographic based on the following content: Some non-users have reported adverse effects from the second-hand aerosol. Studies have provided evidence about the health risks of e-cigarette passive exposure, which are, in some respects, comparable to those associated with passive tobacco exposure. Exhaled aerosol consists of nicotine and some other particles, primarily consisting of propylene glycol, glycerin, flavors, and aroma transporters. Bystanders are exposed to these particles from exhaled e-cigarette aerosol. The exhaled aerosol may involuntarily expose bystanders to toxicants that are in the range as some cigarettes This is due to the fact that some vaping devices generate toxicants in the range as some cigarettes do. Second-hand e-cigarette aerosol may be dangerous to children.

Create a new infographic with a white background based on the following content: The aerosol contains varying amounts of organic and inorganic toxicants as well as carcinogens, which might serve as the source of such deleterious events. E-cigarette vaping releases these toxicants into the air leading to inhalation by nonsmokers in residential or workplace areas. Unlike regular tobacco smoke, the long-term consequences of direct and secondhand exposure to e-cigarette aerosol have not been extensively studied but based on available data, e-cigarette aerosol should be considered harmful to human health.

Create a new infographic titled E-CIGARETTE AEROSOL HEALTH RISKS based on the following source about what is found in the e-cigarette aerosol along with the harms: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/e-cigarettes/health-effects.html

Changes are for all three infographics.

The content of the infographic highlights the health effects of e-cigarettes. It included six key health risks: nicotine addiction, underage brain development, lung damage, cardiovascular injury, EVALI, and nicotine poisoning.

Discussion

The content of the infographic is about the carcinogenicity of nicotine and its modulation of signaling pathways in cancer progression.

The content of the infographic is based on the following review: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10311-023-01668-1.

• Rao, Zihan; Xu, Yuqin; He, Zihan; Wang, Juan; Ji, Huanhong; Zhang, Zhongwei; Zhou, Jianming; Zhou, Tong; Wang, Huai (November 2023). "Carcinogenicity of nicotine and signal pathways in cancer progression: a review". Environmental Chemistry Letters. 22 (1): 239–272. doi:10.1007/s10311-023-01668-1.

The second section has only two particles. I want it changed to three.

Place a tiny cyan colored particle in the second section underneath the particle on the left on its right edge side and align it so that it is slightly below the second particle on the right side.

Text:

A range of cancers has reportedly been linked to nicotine exposure. In addition to lung carcinoma, nicotine exposure has reportedly been associated with the development of cervical, colon, gastric, pancreatic, breast, liver, bladder, and head and neck cancers, including those affecting the nasopharynx, tongue, and oral cavity.

Emerging evidence, based on animal xenograft models and cell culture studies, indicates that nicotine's carcinogenic effects are driven by a variety of signaling mechanisms:

Signaling Pathways Nicotine can activate both receptor-independent and receptor-dependent pathways. Key receptors involved include nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, β-adrenergic receptors, epidermal growth factor receptors, and transforming growth factor β receptors.

Genotoxic Effects Nicotine may lead to chromosomal alterations, DNA damage, and the formation of micronuclei.

Oxidative Stress By increasing the production of reactive oxygen species, nicotine promotes oxidative stress, which can initiate or accelerate tumor development.

Collectively, these findings seem to indicate that nicotine acts as a potent cancer-causing agent that influences tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and migration through multiple biochemical pathways related to chemical carcinogenicity.
