This prospective study confirms that EC use ameliorates objective and subjective asthma outcomes in asthmatic smokers who switch and shows that these beneficial effects may persist in the long term.

EC use can reverse harm from smoking in asthma patients who smoke. The notion that substitution of conventional cigs with EC is unlikely to raise significant respiratory concerns, can improve counseling with asthmatic patients.

Concentrations of most trace metals (except Ni) from cig smoke exceed the concentrations of trace metals from ECIG aerosol. It is unlikely that the ECIG-generated aerosol contains enough of the other trace metals to induce significant pathology.
