Study finds no dangerous side-effect of vaping in 2 year vapers

As much as vapers love puffing the mesmerizing clouds from their devices, skeptics love to advertise the dangers of this new habit. But not anymore! Scientists have conducted a study which proved that vaping is not dangerous on the medium term. The new clinical trial provides evidence that vaping has no dangerous side effects to one’s health. The study was conducted on a large group of volunteer vapers, who were eager to find out if their love for e-cigarettes can jeopardize their health.

Short term effects of vaping

The researchers who conducted this new study wanted to know if there are longer-term and short-term effects in vapers. They studied more than 200 volunteers who gave up smoking and took up vaping, for a period of two years. During this time, the volunteers were monitored for any health problems that might arise and at the end of the study, they were tested for a number of important markers.

The study found that switching from regular cigarettes to vaping leads to coughing, headaches, sore throat and nasopharyngitis. All these side effects fade out in time.

The conclusion of the study was that there are no serious health problems associated with mid-term vaping.

No heart conditions linked to vaping

During the two year study, the volunteers had their heart and lung function closely monitored and the level of the nicotine in their bodies measured. They underwent regular electrocardiograms, in order to have their heart checked.

One of the important conclusions of the study was that vaping doesn’t lead to heart illnesses, nor lung problems. As regular smoking leads to heart conditions and respiratory issues, this is an amazing news for vapers all over the world.

The nicotine level was steady during the clinical trial and there were no significant withdrawal symptoms. In fact, the withdrawal symptoms were diminished, as well as the exposure to additional smoking by-products. Another interesting observation was that volunteers didn’t gained weight after they quit smoking, which is one of the biggest problems of smokers who give up on this habit.

The aerosols from the vaping gadget was not associated with any health problems during the two years trial.

Critics vs. science

The study was sponsored by Fontem Ventures, which manufactures e-cigarettes. This gave birth to a lot of critics, but the study was actually performed by independent laboratories. Thus, the conclusions were not altered to suit any industry. Moreover, the results of the clinical trial were analyzed by Cochrane Collaboration, an independent, reputable group, which also concluded there are no health risks linked to vaping.

Vapers all around the world can now breathe easily at the news that e-cigarette is a safer alternative to regular smoking.

This study on vaping health effects needs to be followed by other studies, focused on longer-term monitoring. But it does help smokers take an informed decision on vaping.
