E-Cigarette Aerosols Promote CoVid Infection
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/yfZYkQtd1V8
The inhaled vapors from electronic cigarettes significantly increase the numbers of the ACE2 CoVid-binding sites and the TMPRSS2 protease that helps the virus infect human cells. UC-Riverside molecular biologists report these worrisome findings following their assessment of the effects from genuine JUUL aerosols as well of the individual aerosol components nicotine, propylene glycol, and vegetable glycerin.
Bottom line: puffing on e-cigarettes will make you more susceptible to a severe CoVid infection.
