It was a study of 1,173,000 adults in the US aged between 18 and 50. The result was 34% were more likely to suffer from visual impairments, compared to those who had never tried e-cigarettes. It is an extensive study. I accept and think everyone here accepts that vaping has helped people to move away from cigarettes but we need to make sure there is adequate regulation because there are downsides to the use of e-cigarettes.
