Electronic Cigarette Health Benefits Debate On-Going: Short Term Advantage Probed

Oct. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- One of the main hooks used in line with electronic cigarette popularization has always been health. And it is no secret that these products have controlled the negative effects of smoking without keeping people from the habit. But new studies still put a veil over its therapeutic advantages, claiming it causes the same downsides as the original product.

A study from the University of Athens has recently revealed that the electric cigarette still does cause damage to the lungs, in spite of what advertisements claim. In the research conducted over 32 volunteer respondents (all of which were regular smokers), under the leadership of Professor Christina Gratziou, it was determined that e-cigarette smoking still caused short-term airway resistance, which lasted for about 10 minutes. This was particularly observed among those who still had healthy lungs. No signs of aggravation were noticed among COPD and asthma patients, which bring to question the breadth and impact of the findings. And Gratziou herself was not as aggressive with the claim, citing more research was required to determine if these short-term electronic cigarette smoking effects have longer lasting results. She does raise that “this research helps us to understand how these products could POTENTIALLY be harmful.”

In any case, Ilya Rocks, a medical expert, stands by electric cigarettes and their health benefits, which include the minimization of chemical exposure, a boost in health and the eradication of smoking addiction. In support of it, she cites an independent paper from the researchers of the Tobacco Harm Reduction project and their findings that 91% of those who switched to electronic cigarettes have reported an improvement in their sense of taste and smell as well as other smoking-related symptoms. She along with thousands of others have pushed the e-cigarette industry to its $520 million mark as of early 2012 and much growth is to be expected out of it, in spite of detraction.
