Vaping changes oral microbiome

Vaping changes oral microbiome, increasing risk for infection

Through oral exams and saliva samples, the researchers studied the oral microbiome of 119 human participants from three groups: e-cigarette users, regular cigarette smokers, and those who had never smoked. Gum disease or infection was significantly higher among cigarette smokers (72.5 percent), followed by e-cigarette users (42.5 percent) and non-smokers (28.2 percent).

After the junk science/falsehoods of Stan Glantz and cohorts, will want to see independent collaboration. However, this appears to be real science, and something vapors need to know.

It appears that the researchers fail to consider that the majority of e-cigarette users ARE ex-smokers.


FTFY

"Gum disease or infection was significantly higher among cigarette smokers (72.5 percent), followed by former cigarette smokers (42.5 percent) and non-smokers (28.2 percent)."

This crap is NOT "real science"!!! The bacteria they're talking about are associated with periodontal disease, which the subjects already had BEFORE they took up smoking or e-cigs. It's the same as Stanton Glantz's garbage because it reverses causality.
