Abstract

Studies on the harm caused by the smoke produced by the well-known, marketed and used electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, e-cig, I-pod, vapes and so many other names
that, although they denote some structural differences, especially of a physical rather than chemical nature, all the studies point to a very common mechanism in the human organism coming from all these rechargeable devices. These studies are relatively recent, since electronic cigarettes were only put on sale in China in 2003, and in the United States of
America only in 2006, but they bring conclusive findings of the new evil which is widely spread and which is being breathed in by so many, even if these conclusions are incomplete, at least from the purely scientific point of view, needs several producible and replicable proofs to the supposed fatigue whose proofs safeguard over the whole universe of molecular biochemistry, the reactions of innumerable orders and culminating in the macroscopic health problems already described in the wide academic literature.
This objective study brings all this information which has been catalogued by various scientists around the world into our everyday, clear, common life, and will also seek to correlate the information with the facts and deeds of our immediate community to encourage the discussion of such issues which involve many important areas of medical knowledge
among doctors, professors, students and staff of our institution who are smokers, nonsmokers, ex-smokers, passive smokers of tobacco, essences containing nicotine, tar and
other substances deleterious to our cells. Many are the studies carried out by specialists that demand materials, places, conditions and also volunteers, which makes scientific work a funnel from which only a small portion manages to obtain significant data. So much so that the vast majority, if not all of the articles cited here, bring their statements of possible failures and/or mistakes made throughout the experiments. Our results will be shown below and will be based on the scientific achievements of the named researchers whose credits can be found in the bibliographical references.
