E-cigs Raise Risk of Chronic Lung Disease, Especially in Those Who Also Smoke
Using e-cigarettes significantly increases the risk of
developing chronic lung diseases like asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a study found. Dual users — those
who smoke tobacco and use e-cigarettes — are at an even higher risk than people
with only one of these habits. Previous studies have suggested that
e-cigarettes can kill cells in the lungs, reduce the organ’s immune response,
and trigger inflammation. Cross-sectional studies also found a link between the
use of e-cigarettes, known as vaping, and chronic lung disease. However, since
these studies only examine one point in time, it was impossible to determine if
vaping increased the risk of lung diseases, or if people with lung diseases
were more likely to use e-cigarettes.
The team analyzed publicly available data from the
Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH), which tracked e-cigarette
and tobacco use, as well as newly diagnosed lung disease in more than 32,000
adults in the U.S. between 2013 and 2016, and followed those newly diagnosed
for over three years. Results showed strong evidence of a causal link between
e-cigarette use and lung diseases like COPD. “What we found is that for
e-cigarette users, the odds of developing lung disease increased by about a
third, even after controlling for their tobacco use and their clinical and
demographic information,” Stanton Glantz, PhD, UCSF professor of medicine and
director of the UCSF Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education, the
study’s senior author, said in a press release.

I'm 59 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of total cure herbal foundation my husband bought, totalcureherbsfoundation .c om has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and cure you totally with their natural organic herbs,it class products at affordable prices.

ReplyDeleteAfter years of working in construction and smoking cigarettes,I was diagnosed with COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. As my illness progressed, I found myself relying on supplemental oxygen around the clock. Even getting out of bed became a challenge.My doctors and specialists recommended a lung transplant, but after researching the pros and cons of such a drastic procedure, I decided to try something less invasive.
