Find out what smoking e-cigarettes does for 30 minutes!
A recent scientific study revealed the harms that can be caused by smoking an e-cigarette once.
Researchers from the University of California, America, compared the "oxidative stress" in the lungs of regular cigarette smokers, those who used e-cigarettes, and those who were not smokers.
“Oxidative stress” is defined as a state of imbalance in the system of oxidizing agents and anti-oxidants towards the production of more oxidizing agents that reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestations of reactive oxygen species.
The ability of a system to easily detoxify the intermediate reaction or to repair the resulting damage.
The researchers found that smoking e-cigarettes for 30 minutes causes levels of "oxidative stress" two to four times higher than levels recorded in non-smokers.
According to the study, the results of which were published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, researchers have concluded that irregular smokers can remain susceptible to certain serious health conditions, which may play an important role in causing certain diseases.
Including cardiovascular, lung and neurological diseases, as well as cancer, according to Sky News Arabia.
Commenting on the study, Dr. Holly Middlekoff, Professor of Cardiology and Physiology at the University of California, Berkeley, said: "We were surprised by the severity of the impact that a session of vaping can have on healthy young adults," according to the British newspaper, "Daily Mail".
