Regular e-cigarette use could lead to premature vascular dysfunction, study finds

A recent study by VCU researchers found that young e-cigarette users exhibit reduced blood vessel function, indicating potential cardiovascular risks. Individuals using e-cigarettes for over three years showed more extensive vascular damage, a marker for cardiovascular disease. The study highlights concerns about long-term health effects, especially in young adults. The rapid increase in e-cigarette use among the youth underscores the need to understand its impact on heart health before it becomes a widespread issue. Further research is necessary to determine if the vascular dysfunction observed can be reversed.
