Those people that suffer from asthma and continue to smoke significantly exacerbate their condition and in certain cases smoking is the primary cause of their ailment. Of course, the best solution is to stop smoking altogether but nicotine addiction is a powerful foe. For those people that have tried to quit multiple times and have failed it appears that moving to vaping as an interim solution may be the obvious choice to reduce symptoms.
A recent study by Dr Christina Russo which was presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology showed that "electronic cigarette use improves respiratory, physiology and subjective asthma outcomes in asthmatic smokers" and that e-cigs "are a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes in this vulnerable population".
"Electronic cigarette use improves respiratory physiology and subjective asthma outcomes in asthmatic smokers. E-cigarettes are a safer alternative to conventional cigarettes in this vulnerable population."
As a result of the study, Dr Russo is now recommending e-cigarettes to her patients if they do not wish to use traditional methods of quitting smoking such as patches and gums.
Even though Public Health England (which is publicly funded) has found that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than traditional tobacco, the general population continues to be confused about the comparative benefits of vaping to smoking. Here at Vaper Empire, we suggest doing your own research on vaping and trying to understand that there are very powerful interests producing misinformation.
