Another worrying finding relates to epigenetic modifications: chemicals in aerosols can alter the way the body 'reads' instructions contained in DNA, paving the way for the same mechanisms that in traditional smokers lead to the development of tumours
Anyone who develops a particularly large, painful, and persistent pimple should see a clinician for a diagnosis, especially if they begin to develop other symptoms, such as fever, an area of growing redness in the skin, or streaky lines of redness
"Battery voltage and unit circuitry differences can result in considerable variability in the products' ability to heat the solution to an aerosol and, consequently, may affect delivery of nicotine and other constituents, and may contribute to the formation of toxicants in the emissions," WHO says in a 2014 report on e-cigarettes
