Abstract
Electronic consumer products (devices, systems) made to delivering of nicotine-containing products are very popular among teenagers and children nowadays. There is a large amount of scientific research data and clinical cases describing the negative effects of electronic cigarettes on the respiratory system, primarily on the lungs. The components of e-liquids can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, infectious complications and disrupt the genetic apparatus of cells in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. Awareness and vigilance regarding the possibility of lung injury in heavy e-cigarette users is extremely important because, unfortunately, there are currently no effective ways to limit the distribution and the use of such kind of devices. The article represents bibliographical data on the pathogenesis, diagnostic capabilities and approaches to treatment of lung injuries associated with vaping.
