A member asked:
Do e-cigarettes affect airway resistance in the same way as normal cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Electronic cigarettes deliver nicotine through a vapor rather than smoke, however spirometry studies have shown it still leads to an immediate increase in airway resistance and damage to the lungs.
