Electronic cigarettes cause high concentrations of uranium and lead in adolescents

In the body, toxic metals, including lead and uranium, are accumulating in the body.

This is evidenced by the results of a study by scientists from the University of Nebraska, published in the journal Tobacco Control (TC).

1607 people aged 13 to 17 years took part in the study. The final analysis included the data of 200 vapers.

Analysis of urine samples showed that the Level levels were 40 percent higher among those who smoke with breaks, and 30% higher among those who smoke regularly than among those who smoke from time to time.

Uranus levels in the urine were also twice as high among those who often smoke electronic cigarettes than among those who use them irregularly.

Scientists concluded that the use of electronic cigarettes in adolescence can increase the likelihood of metals, which can negatively affect the development of the brain and organs.
