According to the latest study conducted by Mayo Clinic pathologists on 17 American patients with e-cigarette lung disease, the lung damage associated with e-cigarette may be due to exposure to toxic chemicals. Lung biopsy did not provide clues about the toxin composition, but pathologists said it might be a pollutant in e-cigarette.
What are the hazards of e-cigarettes:
E-cigarette aerosol can increase platelet aggregation and may lead to micro thrombosis in blood vessels, indicating that e-cigarette is no different from traditional cigarette in increasing the risk of cardiovascular system and causing heart attack;
The quantitative analysis conducted by researchers at the University of Louisville found that the aerosol produced by battery heated smoke contains aldehydes harmful to cardiovascular, including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein, and the aldehyde content produced by electronic smoke with tank atomizer is higher.
Researchers at dandelude hospital in Sweden found that only 10 mouthfuls of e-smoke could cause signs of vascular damage. Magnus & middot, a doctor who subsequently participated in the study on the impact of 30 mouthfuls of e-smoke; Lundbeck said: 'we see that blood vessels become less elastic, which can lead to heart disease and stroke.'
