United States: In exercise bike tests, twenty somethings with at least two years of vaping experienced considerably less exercise tolerance than non-vapers and equivalent deficit to smoking, a similar amount of time.
The SELF ‘Reporting, the vaping young adults ‘found it harder to breath, got more easily tired and were not as physically fit as they had been’ said Dr. Azmy Faisal of Manchester Metropolitan University in the U.
In this regard, our research pointed out that vaping was not more or less dangerous than smoking,” Faisal explained the outcome of the study which he shared during the European Respiratory Society’s annual meeting held on Sunday in Madrid.
As Faisal it has been therefore evident that the acts of using e-cigarettes “cause lung inflammation and damage, and harm the blood vessels.
As reported by HealthDay, But is smoking another less hazardous for young smokers? In an ERS news release, he said that the jury is still out on that. ”But as for what longer-term vaping use does to our bodies we don’t know that yet …” he added.
To get some answers, the Manchester team enlisted 60 volunteers in their 20s none of whom seemed to have any lung problems based on typical tests. Twenty respondents neither vaped nor smoked, 20 vaped for at least 2 years and 20 smoked for least 2 years.
During the exercise task, each participant performed a number of exercise tests on stationary bikes with exercise load gradually increased till the maximum range of the participant was reached.
Readings were taken on the tachograph with reference to rates of the heart, lungs and muscles. For the evaluation of the artery function blood tests and ultrasound were done.
Some of these differences were easy to measure. For instance, smokers and vapers would be out of breath before they attained exercising work capacity and much before participants who did not vape or smoke.
