Abstract
Objective: To analyze the harm to the organism of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Bibliographic review: ENDS, commonly known as electronic cigarettes or vaping devices, are portable, battery-powered devices that simulate the structural, behavioral, and possibly physiological aspects of traditional smoking. E-cigarettes cause adverse health effects through direct contact of aerosols (also called e-cigarette vapour) with tissues or cells in the oral and lung cavity or through systemic effects on various organs including the heart, brain, eyes and kidneys. Final considerations: Electronic cigarettes are associated with various damages to the body. In oral health, ENDS are related to changes in the oral microbiome, caries, periodontal diseases and oral cancer. In addition, there is an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, as well as an increase in diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and stroke, small vessel brain disease and Alzheimer's disease, and the underlying causes of various dementias, including Alzheimer's disease. of Alzheimer's. In the lung, it is associated with a new disease called lung injury associated with the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping (EVALI).
