Vaping May Damage Vital Immune System Cells Researchers think vaping may be more harmful than previously thought. According to a new study by the University of Birmingham, e-cigarette vapor can disable important immune cells
in the lungs. The smoke can even cause inflammation. Some experts are skeptical of the opinion that e-cigs are a safe smoking alternative. Public Health England argues that vapes are safer and people shouldn’t hesitate using them over cigarettes. Studies in the past have focused on the liquid compound that is vaporized
by e-cigs. Some side effects from vaping are similar to those seen in regular smokers. Many researchers say the new smoking trend is only safer in terms of cancer risk.
