An alarming new study has revealed that vaping with e-cigarettes is worse for lung inflammation than traditional smoking. The research, which used a novel radiotracer to measure the level of inflammation in vivo, has painted a worrying picture of the potential long-term health effects of e-cig use. While this latest research highlights the need for further study into the effects of long-term e-cigarette use, it undeniably raises concerns over the safety of this popular nicotine delivery system.

The recent study on the lung inflammation effects of vaping has revealed that vaping with e-cigarettes is worse for lung inflammation than smoking. This provides yet another reason why it is important to consider the potential health risks associated with e-cigarette use. Not only is it potentially more damaging to the lungs, but it can also be addictive, creating a dangerous cycle of dependence. Therefore, it is recommended to practice moderation and caution when deciding to vape or smoke.
