Vaping 'can damage vital immune system cells'

[Northerner]

Vaping can damage vital immune system cells and may be more harmful than previously thought, a study suggests.

Researchers found e-cigarette vapour disabled important immune cells in the lung and boosted inflammation.

The researchers "caution against the widely held opinion that e-cigarettes are safe".

However, Public Health England advises they are much less harmful than smoking and people should not hesitate to use them as an aid to giving up cigarettes.

It’s no more dangerous, indeed less dangerous, than walking down a bus clogged Main Street in any town or city. Try looking at folks’ alveolar macrophages after that experience.
