E-cigarette Use Linked to Increased Respiratory Diseases in Youth
E-cigarette use doubles risk of respiratory diseases in young people, according to a recent study by US researchers.

According to a recent report from medical research website medical-tribune, e-cigarettes are not harmless to young people when it comes to lung diseases from a medical perspective. The study indicates that the risk of respiratory diseases doubles in comparison to those who do not use e-cigarettes among adolescents.


In a groundbreaking study, American researchers have found that the use of e-cigarettes can also trigger respiratory symptoms in adolescents and young adults. Participants were evaluated through online questionnaires, where they reported their complaints and provided information on their use of e-cigarettes, tobacco, and marijuana. The analysis covered the period from 2014 to 2018.


In comparison to individuals who never use e-cigarettes, those who use e-cigarettes have approximately double the odds of experiencing asthma (OR 1.81), bronchial discomfort (OR 2.06), and shortness of breath (OR 1.78) within the 30 days prior to the survey.


In a recent article, Alayna Tackett and her colleagues at the Columbus Waxner Medical Center argued that even after adjusting for factors such as smoking, marijuana use, and secondhand smoke exposure, these associations largely remained unchanged. Therefore, the authors suggest closely monitoring the potential harm of e-cigarettes on teenagers.

U.S. ITC Reopens PAX Labs Case Against STIIIZY, ALD; Domestic Industry Status at Center of Dispute
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has announced a partial review of a key ruling in PAX Labs' patent infringement case against STIIIZY and ALD, focusing on whether the economic prong of the "domestic industry" requirement was properly assessed. While the commission previously found some of PAX's patents valid and infringed, it ruled that PAX had not demonstrated sufficient U.S. economic investment to establish a domestic industry, and therefore did not find a violation.
