Airway test reveals e-cigarette vapor produces similar result as air
A recent study published in Toxicology in Vitro investigates the potential adverse effects of e-cigarette vapor on airway tissue, compared to cigarette smoke. The image on the left illustrates the viability of human airway cells during aerosol exposure (click to enlarge). Do the findings of this study point to e-cigarette vapor being as harmless as air?
The results show that cigarette smoke reduces cell viability to 12% (near complete cell death) after six hours. In contrast, neither of the e-cigarette aerosols showed any significant decrease in cell viability. Despite 6 hours of continuous exposure, the results were similar to those of control cells exposed to only air. Even with this aggressive exposure, the e-cigarette vapours did not reduce cell viability.

However, nowadays smoking doesn’t actually have to be dangerous or unhealthy. The electronic cigarette, commonly known as the “e-cig” was developed by Hon Lik in 2003 to satisfy the need of smokers to inhale something into the lungs and get a similar relaxing feeling without the dangers of the 4,000 chemicals in traditional tobacco cigarette smoke.
