Introduction The present work examined the effect of passive exposure to electronic-cigarette (e-cigarette) emissions on respiratory mechanics and exhaled inflammatory biomarkers. Methods A cross-over experimental study was conducted with 40 healthy nonsmokers, 18–35 years old with normal physical examination and spirometry, with body mass index <30 kg/m2, who were exposed to e-cigarette emissions produced by a smoker, according to a standardized protocol based on two resistance settings, 0.5 ohm and 1.5 ohm, for e-cigarette use. All participants underwent a 30-minute control (no emissions) and two experimental sessions (0.5 and 1.5 ohm exposure) in a 35 m3 room. The following Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) parameters were measured at pre and ...
