Vaping can cause severe lung injury (EVALI) and systemic complications like heart attack and kidney failure. Clinicians must consider vaping risks when evaluating patients, as it may not be a safe smoking alternative.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Cardiology
- Nephrology
Background:
- E-cigarette use, or vaping, became a public health concern in 2019 due to a surge in e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI).
- Initial concerns focused on respiratory effects, but systemic manifestations are now increasingly reported.
