Inani elikhulu leeseli ezihlala kwi-membrane ye-mucous egubungela umgca wangaphakathi wemilebe kunye nomlomo womlomo uya kutshatyalaliswa ngumphunga okhutshwe yi-cigarette ye-elektroniki.
Ukufikelela kwesi sigqibo, i UPr Mahmoud Rouabhia kunye neqela lakhe elivela kwiFaculty of Dentistry kwiYunivesithi yaseLaval baveza iiseli ze-epithelium zomlomo kumphunga we-e-cigarette elabhoratri. Uphononongo lwabo lwemicroscope lubonisa oko ipesenti yeeseli ezifileyo okanye ezifayo inyuka ukuya kwi-18%, 40% kunye ne-53% emva kosuku olunye, ezimbini nezintathu zokuvezwa kumphunga ngokulandelelanayo. Yi-2% kwiinkcubeko zeeseli ezingavezwanga.
Ngokutsho kwe UPr Mahmoud Rouabhia « I-epithelium yomlomo ngumgca wokuqala wokuzikhusela kwihlabathi langaphandle, ukhumbula umphandi. Ukuthembeka kwayo kuyasikhusela ngokukodwa kwiindidi ezimalunga nama-500 ze microorganisms ezihlala emilonyeni yethu.. ".
Unjingalwazi uRouabhia wongeza ngelithi “ Umsi we-e-cigarette ayingomphunga nje wamanzi".
Ngelixa ingenayo i-tar compounds njenge-cigarette eqhelekileyo, isabonisa izicubu zomlomo kunye ne-inflammation tract kwiikhompawundi eziveliswa ngokufudumeza imifuno glycerin, propylene glycol, flavorings kunye 
inikotini efunyenwe kulwelo lwecuba ze-elektroniki. Okwangoku, iziphumo eziqokelelweyo zomonakalo weselula azikabhalwa. Enye into eqinisekileyo, ukuphazanyiswa komqobo womlomo obonelela ngokhuseleko lwethu kunokunyusa umngcipheko wokusuleleka, ukuvuvukala kunye nesifo se-periodontal. Isenokubonisa ukonyuka komngcipheko womhlaza. Omnye umsebenzi kufuneka wenziwe ukuseka oku. Iinkcukacha zalo msebenzi zipapashwa kwiJenali ye-Cellular Physiology.
Olunye uphononongo olwenziwe ngo-2015 nguProf. Mathieu Morissette weFaculty of Medicine e-Université Laval lucebise ukuba ukufunxa kungenza mandundu impilo yabantu abanezifo zemiphunga ezifana ne-asthma okanye izifo ezinjengomkhuhlane.
