TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Vaping-associated lung injury: a review JO - Medicina (Lithuania) A1 - O'Callaghan, Marissa A1 - Boyle, Niamh A1 - Fabre, Aurelie A1 - Keane, Michael P. A1 - McCarthy, Cormac SP - e412 EP - e412 VL - 58 IS - 3 N2 - Since commercial development in 2003, the usage of modern electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) continues to increase amongst people who have never smoked, ex-smokers who have switched to e-cigarettes, and dual-users of both conventional cigarettes and e-cigarettes. With such an increase in use, knowledge of the irritative, toxic and potential carcinogenic effects on the lungs is increasing. This review article will discuss the background of e-cigarettes, vaping devices and explore their popularity. We will further summarise the available literature describing the mechanism of lung injury caused by e-cigarette or vaping use.
