background

the Medical Research Council She recently funded a four -year -old dust study of 1.5 million pounds, and she is studying the effect of electronic cigarettes on immune and epithelial cells within the lungs of smokers who are trying to quit electronic cigarettes.

Smoking is the main cause of preventive death around the world, and a risk factor for many diseases. With the aging of the population, the deep economic and health burden of smoking -related diseases continues. Electronic cigarettes are a tool to quit effective and wonderful smoking, but the long -term effects of Vaping are still unconfirmed. Short -term exposure studies have shown harmful effects of e -cigarette on functional function of fungal immune cells (neutrophils, al -Shamiliya), indicating potential damage to chronic exposure.

This project aims to address this knowledge gap by employing a group of healthy smokers who aim to quit smoking using electronic cigarettes, provide important data needed to determine safety, inform personal choice, general discussion and politics. The study of this longitudinal soil will evaluate the accumulation of toxins in the airways, and changes in the functions of the epithelial and fungal immune cells while quitting smoking, by combining a multi -miles approach with the functions of the complete cell and the completion of the changes in the respiratory microbium.
