Consumption of electric cigarettes (e-cigar) in various countries continues to increase every year.
The results of research on the impact of exposure to e-cigar smoke produce varied information. The
prevalence and severity of Pneumonia and Tuberculosis are influenced by smoking of tobacco cigarettes (tcigar).
This study aims to test the effect of e-cigar and t-cigar smoke exposure on the growth of S. pneumoniae,
K. pneumoniae and M. tuberculosis in vitro. A descriptive experiment was conducted using three different
types of bacteria. The treatment was exposure of e-cigar and t-cigar smoke, as well as no exposure of the
both smoke as a control. Power of inhibition e-cigar and t-cigar were calculated using Poisoned food
method. The growth of S. pneumoniae is more responsive to exposure to cigarette smoke (e-cigar and t-cigar).
In the control group, S. pnemoniae colonies were smaller than K. pnemoniae. E-cigar and t-cigar smoke inhibit
the growth of S. pneumoniae and K. pneumoniae, but e-cigar smoke showed more significant inhibition than
t-cigar smoke. Further in vivo research is still needed to analyse the impact of e-cigar smoke exposure on
human health.
