 Electric cigarettes are as dangerous as traditional cigarettes

Electric cigarettes can cause the same damage to the lungs as traditional cigarettes.

Meanwhile, electronic cigarettes are also toxic to cells that protect the lungs, so it can not be a safe alternative to smoking, a study suggests.

Both electronic devices, used by thousands of people to quit smoking, are now thought to cause respiratory tract damage to people with emphysema, bronchitis and lung cancer.

Australian researchers have found that such cigarettes damage lung cells that protect the respiratory tract, just like tobacco smoke.

Electric cigarettes produce a cigar-like flavor but have lower levels of chemicals.


However, it has been discovered that these cigarettes damage the cell structure.
