Researchers from McGill University in Canada found that berry-flavoured e-cigarettes cause more damage to your lung's immune cells than other varieties.
During tests on mice, the researchers found that the sweet vape interfered with cells called alveolar macrophages and prevented them from clearing out bacteria.
This could lead to severe illness, respiratory distress, and even death.
But the scientists found that mice exposed to flavourless or menthol vapes did not experience the same detrimental impacts.
This suggests that some chemicals used to flavour e-cigs could be more harmful to our lung health than others.
Dr Thanabalasuriar says: 'We need to be careful about the types of flavours that we're including in these products as they can have detrimental effects' Since the trial was only conducted in mice it is not certain whether the results are directly applicable to humans.
But the researchers still warn that their findings show that more caution may be needed.
