The Health Risks of Electronic Cigarettes Use in Adolescents
2020
The evidence to date suggests that vaping is not a safe alternative to smoking tobacco. This, coupled with the worrying trend of young nonsmokers being attracted to vaping, raises fears of yet another generation suffering from chronic lung disease and other acute and chronic health conditions. Finally, due to the insufficient regulations in several countries, up-to-date data on the prevalence of e-cigarette use and studies on the health's implications of their use are urgently needed to inform policy at a national and international level (ie, European Union). Pediatricians are typically on the front line for identifying emerging risks for children and adolescents ; therefore, they may effec…
Influence of E-smoking liquids on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts.
2014
Introduction: Over the last years, electronic cigarettes (ECs) have become more popular, particularly in individuals who want to give up smoking tobacco. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of the different e-smoking liquids on the viability and proliferation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Method and materials: For this study six test solutions with components from ECs were selected: lime-, hazelnut- and menthol-flavored liquids, nicotine, propylene glycol, and PBS as control group. The fibroblasts were incubated up to 96 h with the different liquids, and cell viability was measured by using the PrestoBlue® reagent, the ATP detection and the migration assay.…
Official Statement of the Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) on Electronic Cigarettes and IQOS®.
2019
The use of novel tobacco products, particularly the electronic cigarette (EC) and partial tobacco combustion devices (HnB systems: Heat not Burn), has increased exponentially, particularly among adolescents and young people. The health authorities and scientific societies have shown concern about issues surrounding safety and effectiveness (as a method of smoking cessation). A study of the available scientific evidence has concluded that the safety of the vapor or fumes inhaled by the users of these devices cannot be guaranteed. Contradictory results from various clinical trials and meta-analyses also mean that these devices cannot be recommended for their effectiveness in cessation, especi…
Tobacco-related cardiovascular risk in women: New issues and therapeutic perspectives
2021
Smoking is the main modifiable risk factor for stroke and myocardial infarction, particularly in women; its prevalence in France is evolving, and new patterns of nicotine consumption have emerged.To present contemporary data on smoking prevalence and the use of electronic cigarettes, and to describe current knowledge of the cardiovascular risk specificities and the effectiveness of withdrawal methods in women.We identified studies by searching the MEDLINE bibliographic database between 1995 and 2020, and the Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin (Bulletin Épidémiologique Hebdomadaire) published by the French health authorities.In recent years, smoking prevalence among French women has decreased o…
Sāls nikotīna bāzes tvaicēšanas ietekme uz zobu krāsas maiņu
2022
Sāls nikotīna bāzes elektronisko cigarešu lietošana nesen ir kļuvusi populāra un pakāpeniski aizstāj tradicionālo smēķēšanu . Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot nikotīna sāls elektronisko cigarešu lietošanas ietekmi uz zobu emaljas krāsas maiņu. Tika secinā ts, ka pašizveidotai fotometriskai sistēmai ir piemīt augsta precizitāte. Anketas dati norādīja, ka smēķētāji biežāk tīra zobus un lieto sojas mērci, taču retāk dzer tēju salīdzinot ar nesmēķētājiem. Smēķētāju iecienītākā garša bija augļu šķidrumi ar 20 mg /ml nikotīna. Smēķēšana kombinācijā ar tējas dzeršanu izmainīja zobu krāsu toņa zilidzelteno līdzsvaru (CIELab b* telpiskā koordināte) uz dzelteno pusi. Viena mēneša ilga smēķēšana spē…
