In recent research conducted by a team from Shanghai’s Tenth People’s Hospital, published in the esteemed journal Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, it was revealed that e-cigarettes have a significantly lesser impact on the lung health of young individuals when compared to traditional cigarettes. Unlike traditional cigarettes, which are known to reduce lung capacity and contribute to various diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema, e-cigarettes pose minimal harm to the lungs. This groundbreaking study, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Postdoctoral Innovation Talent Program, and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, employed animal experiments involving adolescent mice exposed to both traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes. The researchers meticulously recorded various lung risk indicators, with lower values indicating less damage. The findings clearly demonstrated that every lung risk indicator for the e-cigarette group was significantly lower than that of the traditional cigarette group, thereby establishing the reduced harm potential of e-cigarettes.
