Maptec Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) A new study into the effects of electronic cigarette by a World Health Organisation (WHO) expert found that passive vaping leaves NO effect on the blood of non-vapers. Not only that, it left no effect on smokers who actually used e-cigarettes. In contrast,the study reported that both active and passive smoking lead to an increase in the number of white blood cell, lymphocyte, and granulocyte counts in blood. The author, Andreas Flouris, is a former expert researcher for the World Health Organisation. Source: Flouris, A.D., et al. Acute effects of electronic and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood count. Food Chem. Tox- icol. (2012), http://dx.doi.org/10...fct.2012.07.025 Highlights We evaluated acute active and passive e-cigarette and tobacco cigarette smoking. We assessed effects on complete blood count in 15 smokers and 15 never-smokers. Control and active/passive tobacco and electronic cigarette sessions were used. We observed no effects of e-cigarettes on complete blood count. Tobacco cigarettes increased white blood cell, lymphocyte, and granulocyte counts. Good step in the right direction Edited August 10, 2012 by Maptec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
