Abstract in brief

  • The innate immune cells in the respiratory tract serve as the body's first defense against infections and environmental threats, but their dysfunction can lead to increased infection risk and poor inflammation resolution.
  • Research has shown that flavored nicotine-free e-liquids can impair the immune response of important respiratory cells, specifically alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer (NK) cells.
  • Among the tested e-liquids, those containing cinnamaldehyde were particularly harmful, as they negatively affected immune cell functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine production, highlighting the urgent need for more studies on flavoring agents in e-liquids for better regulatory guidelines.
