Impact of ENDS on oxidative stress: a Replica project review

An independent review by the Replica project team examines the impact of tobacco smoke and electronic nicotine delivery systems use on oxidative stress, the precursor of the so-called tobacco related diseases (respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, tumors). To date, the scientific evidence available constitutes a puzzle of information, which, despite experimental and procedural limitations of international studies , already shows a reduced impact of ENDS on oxidative stress compared to cigarette smoking, even if some research have concluded that they do not completely eliminate it, leaving the question still pending

Covid-19: ecig only add 1% of risk compared to breathing

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 first review to assess the metabolic impact of stopping smoking in patients with diabetes mellitus revealed serious gaps in the literature

Quitting smoking can reduce cardiovascular and kidney failure risks. However, it can lead to side effects such as weight gain. A scoping review conducted by a pool of European researchers revealed a lack of data on the metabolic effects of smoking and smoking cessation in diabetes. Healthcare professionals should not assume that cessation of smoking will improve metabolic parameters in patients with diabetes.
