Urban myth propagated by ignorant people.

Normally edema is caused by one of two things : either hypertension causes third spacing or there is failure in right ventricle or left atrium cause backup and consequently overflow into the lungs by either backing up in the pulmonary artery or veins. This shouldn't be cause by vaping. The only way I would connect the two would be that nicotine stimulates the nicotinis receptors which happens to promote hypertension. But this would be something that you most likely had prior to vaping and would have to be a chronic problem to create pulmonary edema. Just my two cents. Hopefully this finds you in good health.

I have read so much that my eye's are permanently crossed now. There is no absolute proof because the testing is still being done on electronic cigs. I can only speak for myself and my experience from it. I used smoke 2 to 3 packs of analogs a day till April 13 this year when my wife and I quit. She used chantix and I had the generic form of wellbutrin. Not sure if my spelling is right on these but you get my point. I also used an e-cig that I had got from a convenience store. I had a very rough time quitting with the wellbutrin only. To make a long story short I recently had a xray done when they spotted a spot on my left lung. They had me have a MRI done. The only thing they saw was heavy scaring and some mild copd. I vape about 10 to 15ml a day of juice. Hope this helps you answer your question. Although I am still getting nicotine I can run and go for long walks without getting winded like I used to. Despite what ever they find on this I can say it has improved my quality of life.

thanks guys , just want to know what to say to my clients

From my experience the lungs are in better shape than ever before. I have not had any xrays done recently, but can tell from the way I feel. I think that the research will give vaping a clean bill of health.

As your lungs start to clear out you may experience a little congestion in the lungs. This will be most apparent at night if you have a high resting heart rate when you go to bed. Give a good hack it may clear you up and bring your heart rate down. My instance of this happening has gone down dramatically over the past 5+ months and only seems to happen now when I drink (which after last night's bender I'm done with that for a long time).

The lungs of a long-time smoker are fragile entities, IMHO. They are not healthy.

It would therefore be difficult to guage the effect of anything on them, which is why, anyone attempting to do any kind of detective work would have to start out with a person with healthy lungs.

There are no smokers who have truly healthy lungs, so what they can and cannot withstand is more directly related to that. I'm sure there are situations and substances that can damage lungs, but smoking analogs would be a very overt and obvious one. Therefore, I'd say *anything* would be better......or has the chance of being better.
