Dal study found young people who use #ElectronicCigarettes have worse #LungFunction https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6588824 “young people who use electronic cigarettes have worse lung function. The study showed that people who vape daily have worse lung function, specifically in the small airways. She added that there are still some uncertainties around the true impact of the aerosolized chemicals produced by e-cigarettes on a user's lungs.”

We did some work looking at race specific equations that try to establish normal vs abnormal lung function.
TL/DR they don't do what they purport to do;

Study shows correlation between outside temperature and lung function in Grenoble newborns

Researchers in France suggest an association between ambient outdoor temperatures and human female newborn respiratory systems. The research was led by the Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Université Grenoble Alpes. In the research report, 343 newborns were analyzed for lung function in the weeks after birth. Data was then correlated to the ambient outdoor temperatures their home neighborhoods were exposed to at various timeframes.
