It is reportedly ‘the first double lung transplant in the world for a patient whose lungs were irreparably damaged from vaping.’

Lead researcher of the new study, Professor Thomas Munzel, from the department of cardiology of the University Medical Centre in Mainz, Germany, said e-cigarettes are so dangerous, as well as addictive, that countries should consider banning them.He and his colleagues also argued there is a ‘paucity of evidence’ to support claims that e-cigarettes are a ‘healthy’ alternative to smoking or that they help people quit.

The results suggested that just one vaping episode increased heart rates and caused the arteries to stiffen, and that the inner lining of the arteries, the endothelium, stopped working properly in smokers.Prof Munzel said: ‘Our data may indicate that e-cigarettes are not a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes, and their perceived ‘safety’ is not warranted.

Ewan Fisher, 19, from Nottingham, told how he almost died from serious respiratory failure after vaping And 3.4% of those polled in 2018 reported using e-cigarettes currently – more than double the 1.6% in 2014. He added: ‘This study shows that the concentration of one substance, acrolein, is nine times higher in e-cigarette vapour than in the liquid itself.

Tim Chico, professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Sheffield, said: ‘This study… shows clearly that e-cigarettes have negative effects on the cardiovascular system.
