E-cigarette use and respiratory disorders: an integrative review of converging evidence from epidemiological and laboratory studies

Conclusions The evidence from epidemiological studies meets established criteria for consistency, strength of effect, temporality, and in some cases a dose–response gradient. Biological plausibility is indicated by evidence from multiple laboratory studies. We conclude that e-cigarette use has consequences for asthma and COPD, which is of concern for respirology and public health.
