Abstract
Following the emergence of electronic cigarette, or vaping product use associated lung injury (EVALI) in 2019 in
the US, regulation of e-cigarettes has become globally tighter and the collective evidence of the detrimental
effects of vaping has grown. The danger of cellular distress and altered homeostasis is heavily associated with the
modifiable nature of electronic cigarette devices. An array of harmful chemicals and elevated concentrations of
metals have been detected in e-cigarette aerosols which have been linked to various pathogeneses. Vaping is
linked to increased inflammation, altered lipid homeostasis and mitochondrial dysfunction whilst also increasing
microbial susceptibility whilst the long-term damage is yet to be observed. The scientific evidence is mounting
and highlighting that, along with traditional tobacco cigarette smoking, electronic cigarette vaping is not a safe
practice.
