The use of electronic cigarettes (vaping) carries health risks.[1][2] The risk depends on the fluid and varies according to design and user behavior.[notes 1][4] In the United Kingdom, vaping is considered by some to be around 95% less harmful than tobacco after a controversial landmark review by Public Health England.[5]
E-cigarettes reduce lung function, reduce cardiac muscle function, and increase inflammation.[6][7] Traditional cigarettes have a higher damage record than vaping. The deadly 2019–20 vaping lung illness outbreak in North America was strongly linked to vitamin E acetate in THC-containing vaping liquid.[8] Nicotine vaping produces more carcinogens and toxic substances than a medically approved nicotine inhaler.[9]
There are also risks from misuse or accidents.[10] Such accidents can be through nicotine poisoning (especially among small children[11]),[12] contact with liquid nicotine,[13] and fires caused by vaporizer malfunction.[3]
