Stop smoking: E cigs are still something of an unknown for long term risks. In general it is not a good idea to smoke or use these products especially if you have any lung issues. Yes, you should be worried and take any steps you can to protect your lungs. See you pulmonologist, internist or family practitioner if you need help getting off of the e cig.
