Compares lung health deterioration in adults using heat-not-burn tobacco and cigarettes, suggesting HNB may be less harmful.
Introduction. The harmful effect of cigarette use has been proven through existing studies, but the recent advanced use of heat-not-burn-tobacco-products (HNB) and its effect remains under observation. Results. After six months, HNB users exhibited better-preserved FEV1 and peripheral oxygenation values. Conclusion.
