Vaping can affect the ability to exercise efficiently, study reveals

The research also showed that the performance of young vapers was similar to that of young smokers.

The study has added to growing evidence that long-term use of vaping is harmful and challenges the idea that vaping could be a healthier alternative to smoking.

The research presented by Azmy Faisal, senior lecturer in cardiorespiratory physiology in the department of sport and exercise sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University, said, “Previous research has shown that vaping is linked to lung inflammation and damage, and harmful changes to the blood vessels.

“Although, some research suggests that vaping could be used to cut back or quit smoking, we don’t yet know what longer-term vaping use does to our bodies.”
