The Brazilian Society of Pathology (SBP) has emphasized that the lung damage caused by electronic cigarettes is similar to that experienced by many victims who inhaled toxic smoke during the 2013 Kiss nightclub fire in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Doctors have said that this lung damage can lead to pneumonia and leave traces in the lungs, like internal scars.
The Brazilian Society of Pathology (SBP) has coined the acronym EVALI for a disease related to electronic cigarettes, which stands for "electronic cigarette or vaping-related lung injury/illness." In addition to other diseases caused by smoking in new and traditional forms, such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), formerly called emphysema, COPD is the most preventable and the fourth leading cause of death in the world, according to pulmonary specialist Paulo Antônio Morais Faleiros.
