in #science5 years ago

Are e-cigarettes dangerous? American scientists say they cause breathing problems and the health risks are supposedly quite serious.

Nowadays, if you want to find a study that will either confirm or disprove negative health effects from smoking e-cigarettes (also called vaping). And a new one from the University of Rochester Medical Center says this habit causes its users to suffer from breathing problems. More precisely, the experts say that vaping has a direct correlation with “wheezing” that is seen in vape users with two times a higher probability compared to people who don’t use tobacco products regularly.

Wheezing is caused by a narrowing or another abnormality in the respiratory tract and is often the predecessor to other serious health problems such as emphysema, health failure or lung cancer. The author of the study – Deborah J. Ossip – says the findings are in line with previous research that showed the emissions from the aerosols (mainly from the flavors) produced by the e-cigarettes cause damage to lung tissue.
