Lung Inflammation Worse in E-Cigarette Users Than Smokers: What New Study Says

The Quint  

Is lung inflammation worse in e-cigarette users than smokers, as a new study suggests? A small study that compared the lungs of cigarette smokers with e-cigarette smokers found that e-cigarette smokers had more lung inflammation than those who smoked tobacco. There were five e-cigarette users, five cigarette smokers, and five people who had never smoked cigarettes or e-cigarettes. Despite these limitations, the study shows that the effects of e-cigarette vapour on immune cells does lead to inflammation in the lungs, with even higher levels of inflammation than for tobacco cigarette smokers.
