E-cigarettes increase diseases the risk for chronic lung

A first long-term study found that the use of E increases to get cigarettes, the risk of chronic lung diseases such as Asthma, Bronchitis and narrowing of the respiratory passages. Especially so-called &quot are at risk;Dual User", in addition to E-cigarettes in addition to traditional cigarettes to consume.

More than 32,000 people who had the disease at the beginning of the study, no lung, were observed for three years. This showed that the probability for a chronic lung disease in consumers of E-increased cigarettes by a third. In the case of tobacco, the risk was increased in smokers by a factor of 2.6, and who routinely used both products, wore a three-fold higher risk.

"Dual-User" – the most common patterns of use among users of E-cigarettes – a combined risk, so you are actually worse off as a pure Tabakraucher", study leader Prof. Dr. Stanton Glantz of the University of California said. This finding is of great importance, as it will be discussed whether E-cigarettes should be recommended as an aid for Smoking cessation. In fact, the study showed that switching from tobacco to E-cigarettes lowered the risk of lung disease, however, less than one percent of the tobacco Smoking completely to E-cigarettes, and switched.

The results of this study have nothing to do with the acute lung disease, where this year, some consumers of E-cigarettes in the United States become ill and even died. The cause for "EVALI" (E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury) is still unknown. You may see these acute diseases of the lung are due to influences on the immune system, or toxic chemicals.
