At CIS, the BioPi team (Jérémie Pourchez, Clément Mercier, Lara Leclerc) leads research into the toxicity of electronic cigarettes. This topical issue is of great interest to the media, which have highlighted the work of the Centre for Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering at Mines Saint-Étienne.
Three features were produced by major media outlets:
- Franceinfo ran the headline “How the Centre for Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering laboratory tests the toxicity of electronic cigarettes”
- M6 pointed out that tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in France, with more than 75,000 deaths per year.
