I got a bad case of tonsillitis(bacterial) right after switching to a more powerful e-cig device. wondering if this was the cause or just coincidence.

Aggravating factor: If you expose your tonsils to foreign agents, like an inhaled chemical or smoke, you can weaken its protective membranes and increase risk that a germ would be able to invade. Over time people get used to the exposure and continue their habit.Some foreign substances may be more irritating to some people than others.
