Study: Vaping Shows Similar Fitness Effects to Smoking
Researchers found vaping and smoking each cut peak exercise capacity and oxygen uptake by about 15% in 75 young adults.
Summary
A study published Tuesday in ERJ Open Research found that young adults aged 18 to 30 who vape or smoke have approximately 15% lower exercise capacity than those who have never used either product.
The negative effects of smoking on health are well known. A recent study now shows that it doesn't seem to matter for fitness whether someone smokes tobacco or e-cigarettes.
