Scientists use age in their studies ranging from 13 to 17 people examined. These children used electronic cigarettes at least eight times a day. The results showed alarming levels of lead and uranium in their urine. So much so that lead levels are higher than those of occasional e-cigarette smokers 30% more It was too much. Uranium is twice as much It was high.

Moreover, it was observed that types of electronic cigarettes also affected this situation. Those who preferred sweeter flavors over menthol or mint had higher uranium levels than others. We should point out that a control group that never used e-cigarettes was not included in the study. Instead of 200 pieces The user has been recorded.
