| Abstract [eng] |
Background. Electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular due to the perception that they are safer than combustible cigarettes. Despite the increasing number of studies on electronic cigarettes, there is still a lack of detailed information on their potential adverse effects on the skin and mucous membranes. Aim. To conduct a literature review on the effects of electronic cigarettes on the skin and mucous membranes, focusing on dermatological manifestations and potential health risks. Materials and methods. A search of the scientific literature was conducted using the “PubMed” and „Google Scholar“ databases to identify scientific articles related to skin and mucosal problems caused by electronic cigarettes. The analysis included articles published over a 10-year period that focused on skin manifestations and mucosal damage associated with electronic cigarette use. Results. Literature analysis indicates a connection between electronic cigarette use and various adverse effects. Users may experience contact dermatitis due to metal allergy; thermal, chemical and mechanical damage due to device malfunctions and explosions; as well as mucosal damage including nicotine stomatitis, hyperplastic candidiasis, oral lichen planus and black hairy tongue. Conclusions. The use of electronic cigarettes is associated with a range of dermatological and mucosal problems. These results emphasize the need for further research on electronic cigarettes and highlights the necessity to educate general public about the potential health risks by providing them with the necessary information on the safety and health effects of these products. |
