The effects of electronic cigarette aerosol exposure on inflammation and lung function in mice

This study shows, for the first time, that exposure to e-cigarette aerosol during adolescence and early adulthood is not harmless to the lungs and can result in significant impairments in lung function.

Fragranced consumer products: effects on asthmatic Australians

Most asthmatics would prefer workplaces, healthcare facilities, and environments that are fragrance-free, which could help reduce adverse effects
