A study by researchers at the University of California, reported that certain substances in vaping liquids may be damaging to users’ sight.
Titled, “Association Between E-Cigarette Use and Visual Impairment in the United States,” the study analysed data from 1,173,646 adults aged between 18 and 50 between 2016 and 2018. The results indicated that vapers were 34% per more likely to suffer from visual impairments than non-vapers, while former users were 14% more likely to do so.
The team concluded that the results could be evidence that solvents in vaping fluids damage the tear duct and cause the body “oxidative stress”, which has been linked to a deterioration of eyesight.
Another recent UCLA study published in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research, highlighted the relative safety of smokeless tobacco products and how switching to the products from combustible cigarettes was associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in smokers.
