Researchers link electronic cigarettes and vaping to increased cardiovascular risk
Vaping, popular for smoking cessation, especially among youth, is linked to cardiovascular issues. A study by UC Irvine researchers reveals vaping disrupts blood flow regulation, posing heart disease risks. Inhaled particles from vaping are linked to heart problems. Researchers stress reducing nicotine exposure through e-cigarettes for heart health. APHEL's study emphasizes the need for public health policies to limit inhaled nicotine risks. By simulating exposure in animal models, researchers found vaping with nicotine harms heart function. This study underscores the importance of understanding environmental toxins' impact on heart health for safer communities.
