Episode 130: The risks of vaping

A new study from Lawson Health Research Institute and Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry says that vaping or e-cigarettes carry health risks that to this point, were unknown. Inhaling e-liquids could negatively affect “pulmonary surfactant” – a critical layer of the lungs that allows breathing to happen with minimal effort. Dr. Ruud Veldhuizen joins the podcast to explain the study and look at what the future of the e-cigarette industry might be.
