Reported Adverse Effects of Electronic Cigarettes
UK drug regulators received 200 reports of 556 different side effects in e-cigarette users, including fatigue, blurred vision, and constipation.

The drug regulatory agency has reported that smokers have complained that their devices leave them exhausted, with blurry vision or constipation.


The medical regulatory agency has received around 200 reports from individuals who have experienced 556 different side effects. This information comes from Getty and covers the past three years.


One user complained of having hearing issues, while another claimed that these small items had left a ringing sound in their ears.


The Administration of Drug and Healthcare Products has stated that the most common complaints include coughing, hiccupping, sore throat or hoarseness, and wheezing.


More unusual issues include two cases of dizziness - where the room spins - and three instances of blurry vision or teary eyes.


One person complains that they are tired from using electronic cigarettes, while another says that the devices make them feel lazy.


Approximately 3 million people in the United Kingdom use electronic cigarettes.


John Dunne, Chairman of the UK Vaping Industry Association, has stated that the harm caused by e-cigarettes is significantly less than that of smoking.


He added, "It is well known that adult smokers may experience side effects when transitioning from smoking to physically adapting to cessation.


The regulatory body stated that "reporting of adverse reactions does not necessarily mean that they are caused by e-cigarettes.
