Vaping cannabidiol (CBD), a compound found in marijuana, leads to more severe lung damage than vaping nicotine, according to a study by researchers at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Until now, research on the health effects of vaping, or using e-cigarettes, has focused almost exclusiv...
The aforementioned thermal decomposition of VEA plays an important role in lung carcinogenesis. Wu and O’Shea’s study demonstrated that vaping VEA can lead to exposure to the toxic gas ketene [138]. In animal experiments, severe, acute lung damage was observed after 24 days of ketene ...

These findings are very non-specific and can be seen in a host of other lung diseases (Fig. 2). A diagnosis of EVALI was made based on a negative infectious and autoimmune workup in a patient who actively vapes. The patient was given a dose of 1 mg/kg methylprednisolone intravenously ...
Based on a study funded by Cancer Research UKm Patients with a history of smoking are at a 40% higher likelihood to die of Melanoma—a type of skin cancer-than those who never smoked. This, of course, is in addition to the significantly increased risk of developing lung cancer in smokers...
Recently, eight teens hospitalized in Wisconsin for severe lung damage, suspected to be due to vaping. E-cigarettes have also been linked to heart problems.
New research appearing in the journal Scientific Reports unpacks the list of chemicals that comprise flavored e-liquids and pods used in vaping and details their harmful effects to lung tissue, including inflammation and genetic damage that could indicat
“safe cigarette”, which has fewer toxicants and thus presumed lower lung disease- and cancer-producing effects compared with traditional tobacco cigarettes. While the e-cigarette industry promotes these devices as aids for smoking cessation and the health authorities also strictly recommend them for ...
