E-Cigarettes Related Health Hazards-A 2020 Update

Abstract

In the United States, 30% of cardiovascular disease-related mortality is due to Tobacco smoking [1]. Electronic (e) cigarettes have nicotine content ranging between 16 and 24 mg/ml. The adverse impact of e-cigarettes can affect the respiratory tract, central nervous system and, immune system [2]. Most of the flavoring chemicals used in e-cigarettes significantly increase the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can lead to pulmonary toxicity and related respiratory disorders. E-cigarette use among adults between age groups 18 and 25 years or older has increased dramatically [3]. Male students under the age group of 12-17 especially Hispanics and Whites are more addicted to the use of e-cigarettes [4].
