A new review conducted by CoEHAR researchers, and a pool of international experts analyzed the studies evaluating electronic cigarette emissions, confirming low levels of potentially harmful compounds, such as carbonyls,…
“ Our comprehensive analysis underscores that the aerosol from heated tobacco products (HTPs) contains markedly fewer and substantially lower concentrations of toxic compounds compared to traditional cigarette smoke," Professor Roberto Sussman, first author of the study, stated. "However, despite the reduced levels, the existence of harmful compounds in HTPs and e-cigarettes, notably aldehydes, necessitates vigilant oversight."
The third phase of the Replica project is in the prime of its activity: CoEHAR researchers successfully replicated the study published by Rudd and colleagues in 2020 and the data obtained not only show slight or no cytotoxic, mutagenic and genotoxic effects induced by the e-cigarette aerosol, but the work by researchers of Catania covered some methodological gaps and limitations in the original work.
Incredibly, people close to an infected vaper using an e-cigarette in home or restaurant scenarios face a one percent increase of risk of contagion compared to the control case of a normal breathing (without vaping) inside closed spaces. This relative added risk becomes 5-17 percent for high intensity vaping and up to 260 percent for speaking for various periods and coughing.
The e-cigarette aerosol foster the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus? According to the research, vaping add 1% risk to the already existing risks from breathing indoor
