Abstract:
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) were introduced in 2006, offering alternatives to combustible cigarettes. There is significant controversy regarding their sale and regulation, particularly with youth and high-risk patient populations. They were deemed a "major public health concern" by the United States (US) Surgeon General in 2016 . Already associated with health consequences, recently e-cig or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI) has exposed their potential to cause life-threatening complications. This publication aims to educate readers on the the immediate and long-term health consequences of ENDS, so they may provide patient counseling on utilization focusing on the asthmatic population.

Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
