CCSEC value

RR (breaths/min)163.0 ± 2.5133.6 ± 10.2185.6 ± 9.01b
VT (mL)0.28 ± 0.010.33 ± 0.050.35 ± 0.03
Vmin (mL/min)46.18 ± 1.3545.74 ± 8.655.7 ± 3.8
Body mass (g)29.0 ± 0.930.2 ± 0.529.2 ± 0.7

C: control; CS: cigarette smoke; EC: electronic cigarette; RR: respiratory rate; VT: tidal volume; Vmin: minute ventilation. (b) represents a difference compared to CS. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-test ().
