According to a report by Antara News Agency on January 9th, 2024, Professor Aegis Devi
A report suggests that a 23-year-old Indonesian man experienced lung damage and suffered from respiratory difficulties for three days due to excessive e-cigarette use. Although he had a cough, he did not exhibit symptoms such as fever, night sweats, asthma, or a history of tuberculosis.
Dr. Sushan To revealed that the patient had been a traditional cigarette smoker for the past decade before switching to e-cigarettes a year ago. The patient stated, "For ten years, my lungs have been healthy, but after switching to e-cigarettes a year ago, I suddenly experienced shortness of breath. X-ray examination revealed lung rupture and fluid retention.
A doctor inserted a chest tube for a patient and advised him to stop using e-cigarettes. Subsequently, the patient's symptoms improved and no longer recurred. Dr. Susanto emphasized that the e-cigarette is likely the cause of the problem.
Pulmonary rupture occurs in the pleural space between the chest wall and the lungs, causing the lungs to partially or completely collapse. This condition can put pressure on the heart and trigger further symptoms. Smoking is one of the causes of this issue, and related studies have shown that smokers are significantly more at risk for developing spontaneous pneumothorax.
Dr. Susantoro Suyama emphasized that numerous medical journals have reported similar findings, stating that patients with pulmonary conditions require intubation treatment and are advised to quit smoking, resulting in no further relapses.
