Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of e-cigarette use on lung function among young adults aged 18 to 24, comparing those exposed to e-cigarettes with those who are not.
- Participants were categorized based on their history of e-cigarette use, ranging from unexposed to heavy users, with ventilation distribution assessed using the lung clearance index (LCI).
- Results indicated that e-cigarette users, particularly heavy users, had higher LCI measures compared to unexposed individuals, suggesting that LCI could be a valuable biomarker for detecting early lung function impairment related to e-cigarette use.
