[QUOTE="caojyn, post: 2370685, member: 5425"] [b]They were asked to use an electronic cigarette for 10 minutes, inhaling the vapors into their lungs.[/b] A spirometry test, as well as some others diagnostic procedures were used to measure their airway resistance. Airway resistance is used in respiratory physiology to measure the resistance of the respiratory tract to airflow coming in during inspiration (inhalation) and going out during expiration (exhalation). [b]They found that using an e-cigarette caused an instant increase in airway resistance that lasted for 10 minutes in the majority of the participants.[/b] Below are some of their findings: Non-smokers - even among lifetimes non-smokers, using an e-cigarette for ten minutes raised their airway resistance to 206% from 182% (mean average); the researchers described this as a "significant increase". Current regular smokers - among existing regular smokers, the spirometry tests revealed a significant rise in airway resistance to 220%, from 176% after using one e-cigarette for ten minutes. COPD and Asthma patients experienced no significant increase in airway resistance from using one e-cigarette for ten minutes. So the breathing difficulty lasts as long as you're using it? [/QUOTE]
