Controlled Clinical TrialAcute impact of active and passive electronic cigarette smoking on serum cotinine and lung function.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are becoming increasingly popular yet their effects on health remain unknown. ⋯ Regarding short-term usage, the studied e-cigarettes generate smaller changes in lung function but similar nicotinergic impact to tobacco cigarettes. Future research should target the health effects of long-term e-cigarette usage, including the effects of nicotine dosage.
