New Delhi, June 08 (ANI): Today, people are highly resorting to the use of e-cigarettes to quit smoking. But e-cigarette vaping does more harm than good. A new study highlights that it hampers the cleaning of mucus from the airways. The study published in the Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also stated that a single session of vaping can deliver more nicotine to the airways than smoking one cigarette.

This phenomenon is called "mucociliary dysfunction." Mucociliary dysfunction is a feature of many lung diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis.
