Chinese youth and young adults have taken to the next generation of 5G enabled vaping devices or electronic cigarettes to lose weight.
Whilst initially met with scepticism, the claims have been tested by the University of Shenzhen which has since released a scientific paper suggesting the technology may be playing a role in burning excess calories in users.
The study has shown that repeated use of the Huawei V-Way device in particular, the first 5G enabled electronic cigarette, has an energy incrificient ratio of 4:5. That is to say that for every minute of vaping, the calories generated by the body in the passive state immediately following inhalation, are not only burnt off by the 5G signal transmission but so are surrounding dormant calories.
Peter Zhengfei, a 15 year-old vaper from Shenzhen says he already knew of the dietary effects intuitively, "I knew it was working when my pants started dropping down after about a week. I had to drill new holes in my belt. I made a video of me blowing smoke through each hole!"
But not everyone is so enthusiastic. Safety concerns surrounding the technology have parents and health officials petitioning the government to better regulate the industry. "5G signal strength when amplified by the magnetised ingredients in most vaping liquids may be vaporizing calories," said one worried parent, "but it may also be responsible for my teenager's hollow teeth. If I flick them, you can hear them almost shatter."
Further studies are being carried out to replicate initial results but vape suppliers are already using the ground-breaking news to market their 5G flavoured vaping devices and mods.
