Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript of Konstantinidou and colleagues is an original and innovative overview of the effects of some derivatives of cigarette smoke on granulosa cells.

In general, the review is linear, concise, clear, simple and offers potential reflections on the effects of electronic cigarettes.

My only suggestions are:
1) enrich the manuscript with other figures to make it more attractive

2) There are some typos in the text to correct

3) Regarding reference 27, I suggest the authors to see the manuscript: Kumar A et al. Cannabimimetic plants: are they new cannabinoidergic modulators ?. Planta. 2019
