Lung check after 8 years of vaping; body changes after switching to vaping.

Recently, the controversy over “e-cigarettes causing illness” has been making waves. Many users have begun questioning the safety of e-cigarettes, and there have even been rumors online claiming that users of a certain e-cigarette brand had to undergo lung removal surgery.

Just like in Liu Dongyuan’s examination this time—the lungs of someone who had vaped for 8 years showed no abnormalities.

RELX has always been a leading company in China’s e-cigarette industry and has invested heavily in e-cigarette research, especially in health-related studies. So far, it is the first and only e-cigarette brand in China with a large-scale in-house e-cigarette laboratory.
