Beginning in 2013, researchers started building a dataset of over 32,000 adults &#8211; all of whom had <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> initial signs of lung disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>E-Cigarettes as an Independent Risk Factor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within one of the waves studied, the researchers controlled for combustible tobacco use, as well as other demographic and clinical variables, and found that e-cigarette use yielded significant associations with the development of chronic lung disease. Notably, onset of chronic illness often developed in just three years from the study\u2019s start. These results conflict with the common public perception of vaping a relatively \u201csafe alternative\u201d to conventional smoking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Dual E-Cigarette and Combustible Tobacco Use<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An interesting by-product of this research also found that people who use e-cigarettes are likely to continue using combustible tobacco products in conjunction with vaping. Referred to by researchers as \u201cdual-users,\u201d these individuals were the most likely to develop chronic lung illnesses (over three times more likely than non-smokers who never used e-cigarettes).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>More MedCram Updates on the Vaping Illness Outbreak<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that while the longitudinal nature of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0749379719303915#abss0002\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gives valuable information on the dangers of e-cigarettes and vaping, its association with lung disease does not equal causation.
