Risk from bacteria in lungs increased by vaping
A new health risk associated with e-cigarettes has been identified. Bacteria routinely found in the lungs become more harmful and cause increased inflammation when they are exposed to e-cigarette vape, say researchers from Queen’s University Belfast.
This increase in lung inflammation is due to bacteria made more virulent by exposure to e-cigarette vapour, the three-year study, published in Respiratory Research shows.
