E-Cigarettes: Facts, Perceptions, and Marketing Messages
TLDR
Some of the issues associated with e-cigarette use, such as potential components of regulation, perceptions that e-cigarettes can help users quit smoking, and free-wheeling marketing strategies that include expanding e- cigarette use to young people are presented.Abstract:
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are perceived as an alternative to standard tobacco cigarette smoking, primarily because of the e-cigarette industry's marketing messages. However, scientific studies about e-cigarette safety and efficacy remain limited. This column presents some of the issues associated with e-cigarette use, such as potential components of regulation, perceptions that e-cigarettes can help users quit smoking, and free-wheeling marketing strategies that include expanding e-cigarette use to young people. Nurses can be a reliable source of information about e-cigarettes.read more

TL;DR: Exposure to cigarette smoke led to significantly increased systolic blood pressure, cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac and renal fibrosis, and decreased renal function, which indicates that decreased expression of miR-29b-3p is a novel mechanism wherein cigarette smoke promotes accelerated cardiac and kidney tissue injury in CKD.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that using an e-cigarette for 5 min led to an immediate decrease in F ENO within the experimental group by 2.14 ppb (P 5.005) but not in the control group (P5.859), total respiratory impedance at 5 Hz in the experimental groups was found to also increase by 0.033 kPa/(L/s) (P,.001), and fl ow respiratory resistance at 5, 10, and 20 Hz also statistically increased.
