The VERITAS study, a global cross-sectional survey, aims to isolate the effects of vaping on respiratory health by focusing exclusively on individuals who vape but have never smoked, offering unique insights into the direct consequences of e-cigarette use.
By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D.Nov 8 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. The global cross-sectional VERITAS survey involving six different regions throughout the world has been designed by a team of international scientists to exclusively explore the impact of vaping on respiratory health.
In addition to nicotine, e-cigarettes contain a variety of chemicals, including flavoring agents. Current evidence indicates that these chemicals, along with nicotine, might have harmful effects on respiratory health.
