E-Cigarettes Change Hundreds of Immune Genes?

[Sham66]

This has been discussed on this forum before, but I was wondering if their is any new information on this subject?
According to the articles below E-Cigarettes Change/suppress Immune Genes, supposedly higher than real cigarettes. Although the article states that cinnamon-flavored e-liquids cause the greatest Change/suppress Immune Genes.

The question I ask is: does unflavored e-liquid (just Pg, Vg and nicotine) cause a similar effect to Immune Genes or is it just a specific flavoring causing it? I can't seem to find a study showing just unflavored e liquid being used. Because PG and VG are antibacterial; perhaps they alone can cause some immune genes to suppress?

E-Cigarettes Change Hundreds of Immune Genes

Ecigs 1/3 to 1/2 as bad as traditional cigarettes

I'm hoping it gives me super powers.

Follow the money, UNC is known to( as is USC, where I attended) be bought and paid for when it comes to research.......there is an agenda boys and girls, and its not health

Just don't vape cinnamon flavors.

I have been saying that the genes state would be normally inactive (suppressed)
in a more sterile environment. It's the more sterile environment that causes the suppression.
What causes the more sterile environment isn't a factor necessarily. A now notorious study showed that
cells bathed in cigarette smoke killed so many cells so quickly the results were voided more or less.
The same cells bathed in e-vapor survived for some time before mortality set in at a significant
rate. In either case infection was not the cause of any cell death.

I don't know the answer to your question. After reading the article(s) you noted, it doesn't appear they do either. One thing I do know, whoever's funding the study will get the results they want...

A research term" curve fitting"..... start out with the desired result then build a case to support it

I broke the links...
If you google, the top one is UNC Health Care and the bottom on is from Newsmax

Why is it assumed any change might (must) be negative?

Good luck.

Sorry about the active links, they seem to work now.

They were broken for a reason.
