The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarette) and vaping devices started as a potential aid for cessation and reducing the harmful consequences of cigarette smoking, mainly in the adult population. Today e-cigarette use is highly increasing in vulnerable populations, especially young and pregnant women, due to the misconception of its harmless use.Despite the growing acknowledgment in e-cigarette as a potential harmful device, and due to mixed information found concerning its beneficial aid for smokers, along with an insufficient clinical study done in human models, it is important to further evaluate the possible benefits and risks of non-combusting, vaping nicotine or non-nicotine delivery devices.In this review we tried to summarize the latest updated information found in the literature, concentrating mainly in the variety of adverse effects of e-cigarette use and its contribution for recent and future health concerns.
电子烟（e-cigarette）和蒸气装置的使用最初是作为戒烟和减少吸烟有害后果的潜在辅助手段，主要针对成年人群体。如今，由于对其无害使用的误解，电子烟在弱势群体中的使用，特别是在年轻人和孕妇中，正在迅速增加。尽管人们越来越认识到电子烟是一种潜在的有害装置，而且由于有关其对吸烟者有益辅助作用的信息混杂，以及在人体模型中进行的临床研究不足，因此，有必要进一步评估非燃烧、蒸气尼古丁或非尼古丁输送装置的可能益处和风险。在这篇综述中，我们试图总结文献中发现的最新更新信息，主要集中在电子烟使用的各种不良反应及其对当前和未来健康问题的影响。
