Did you know! E-cigarettes increase cardiovascular risk as much as cigarettes do.
It revealed that smokers of e-cigarettes experienced the same, if not higher level of cardiovascular elevation for prolonged periods after smoking the e-cigarette.
Researchers found that using e-cigarettes and cigarettes, in comparison to nicotine-free e-cigarettes, had the same significant impact on vitals, with participant's blood pressure and heart rate being affected.
In comparison, traditional cigarettes only raised heart rate for 30 minutes and there was again no change when using nicotine-free e-cigarettes.
Franzen et al. use this data to state that the e-cigarettes can be as dangerous as cigarettes, simply concluding that: "The increased parameters within the nicotine containing devices might be a link to an increased cardiovascular risk which is well known for cigarettes."
The findings have been published in the journal Vascular Medicine
