A sore throat, dry mouth, cough and headache may be the first signs of the negative effects of vaping on the body.

Decreased exercise capacity, shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness require medical evaluation.

Nausea, dizziness, cold sweats, trembling and palpitations after vaping may indicate excessive nicotine intake.

MOSCOW, September 30 - RIA Novosti. A sore throat, dry mouth, cough and headache can be the first signs of the negative effects of vaping on the body, which can easily be confused with a cold or fatigue, explained Dmitry Bulanov, director of the department of pathomorphology and clinical cytology of the LabQuest laboratory, candidate of medical sciences.

“It is especially important to pay attention to the repetition: if unpleasant sensations occur after puffs or intensify on days of more frequent use of the device, this is a reason to stop vaping and evaluate the condition with a doctor. Such a cough should not be considered a mandatory “addiction”,” Bulanov told Lente.ru.

According to the specialist, deterioration in tolerance to habitual physical activity should also be of concern. New shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness require medical evaluation.
