Vaping might feel safer than smoking - but what’s really happening inside our lungs?👀

The EVALUATE study led by the University of Birmingham will be the first to track ex-smokers over a whole year to uncover the long-term impact of vaping on our airways.

Researchers will look at how vaping affects the cells and microbes that keep our lungs healthy - to get a clearer understanding of its effects.
