E-cigarette use associated with chronic lung conditions in longitudinal study
Bhatta DN, Glantz SA. Association of E-Cigarette Use With Respiratory Disease Among Adults: A Longitudinal Analysis. American Journal of Preventive Medicine. December 16, 2019.
This study tracked e-cigarette and conventional cigarettes as well as new lung disease diagnoses in over 32,000 American adults from 2013 to 2016. Current and former e-cigarette users were 1.3 times more likely to develop chronic lung disease while tobacco smokers increased their risk by a factor of 2.6. Dual users more than tripled their risk of lung disease, combining the risk of e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes.
