Background Taking into consideration a recent surge of a lung injury condition associated
with electronic cigarette use, we devised an in vitro model of sub-chronic exposure of human …

Electronic (e)-cigarettes theoretically may be safer than conventional tobacco. However, our
prior studies demonstrated direct adverse effects of e-cigarette vapor (EV) on airway cells …

E-cigarettes are emerging products, often described as “reduced-risk” nicotine products or
alternatives to combustible cigarettes. Many smokers switch to e-cigarettes to quit or …

The use of electronic cigarette (e-cig) can be considered as an alternative to smoking.
However, due to a lack of thorough toxicological studies, absolute safety of these products …

Background The use of electronic (e)-cigarettes is increasing rapidly, but their lung health
effects are not established. Clinical studies examining the potential long-term impact of e …

Electronic cigarettes or vaping products have been marketed as a safer alternative to
smoking, but very little is known about the health effects in the human lung, particularly in the …

Background The health effects of e-cigarettes in patients with pre-existing lung disease are
unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether aerosols from a fourth-generation …

Little evidence is available regarding the physiological effects of exposure to electronic
cigarette (ECIG) aerosol. We sought to determine the molecular impact of ECIG aerosol …

Background: Smoking electronic cigarettes (ECIG) is promoted as a safer alternative to
smoking combustible cigarettes. This study investigates the effects of ECIG aerosol and …

Background Exposure to electronic-cigarette (e-cig) aerosols induces potentially fatal e-cig
or vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI). The cellular and molecular mechanisms …
