According to the Economic Times, researchers at the University of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, published a study in the journal Vascular Medicine, revealing that nicotine-containing vapes may have a major impact on vascular function, so atomization Products may be as harmful as traditional smoking.
The study showed that vape users experienced the same cardiovascular elevation after long-term use of vapes. The researchers monitored vital signs during and after smoking by cigarettes, nicotine-containing vapes, or nicotine-free vapes.
The researchers found that the use of nicotine-containing vapes and cigarettes had the same significant effect on blood pressure and heart rate in participants compared to nicotine-free vapes.
After 45 minutes of use of nicotine-containing vapes and 15 minutes after smoking, peripheral systolic blood pressure increased significantly; after using vapes, heart rate continued to increase for 45 minutes, with an increase of more than 8% in the first 30 minutes. In contrast, heart rate increased by only 30 minutes after using traditional cigarettes; heart rate did not change when using e-liquid without nicotine.
As for why the use of nicotine-containing vapes has a longer heart rate than traditional cigarettes, personal estimates are due to the higher concentration of nicotine E-liquid samples, such as 30 MG nicotine E-liquid, which produces equivalent vapes. In the 2-3 flavors of tobacco, so the amount of nicotine inhaled at the same time, the electronic cigarette is higher than the cigarette.
Researchers say that vapes may be as dangerous as cigarettes, and it is recommended that future trials should focus on the chronic effects of peripheral or central blood pressure on nicotine-containing or nicotine-free E-liquid.
