Résumé : |
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are battery-powered devices that use heat to aerosolize a liquid containing a variety of substances (usually nicotine and/or cannabinoids, flavorings, and glycerol or propylene glycol base) that is then inhaled. E-cigarettes are rapidly evolving over time, so the true health effects of e-cigarettes are difficult to study and remain largely unknown. We review the effects of e-cigarettes on nicotine addiction and on pulmonary disease including the effects of dual use and switching from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes. Studies show that e-cigarette use can increase the risk to nicotine dependence and combustible tobacco use. Studies show an association between e-cigarette use and pulmonary disease. Some studies suggest reduced harm from e-cigarette use compared with smoking, but this requires further study. Most adults who use e-cigarettes also smoke cigarettes; epidemiologic studies suggest that the combination of e-cigarettes and cigarettes is more harmful than using either product alone.
Key points: - Newer generations of e-cigarettes are capable of delivering high nicotine concentrations and lead to youth addiction and subsequent combustible cigarette use. - Studies suggest that e-cigarettes can compromise respiratory health over time. - Some studies suggest reduced harm when individuals switch from smoking cigarettes to vaping e-cigarettes, but further study is needed. - The combination of e-cigarettes and cigarettes is more harmful than using e-cigarettes alone or to smoking cigarettes alone. - Some studies suggest that e-cigarettes may be effective as smoking-cessation aids when used as a therapeutic intervention, but not when used as a consumer product. |
