Flavored e-liquids may be bad for the heart

It was mentioned earlier that flavored e-juice may cause damage to the lungs, so everyone has certain concerns about flavored e-juice. It is estimated that new vape users will continue to maintain a wait-and-see attitude. As the saying goes, good fortune and misfortune do not come singly. The hidden worries of flavored e-liquids are not only that. A preclinical trial involving mice found that there are signs that the flavors used in vape e-liquids may be harmful to the heart. Popular flavors, including vanilla cream, cinnamon and various fruit flavors, have been found to have a pronounced effect on heart cells and may cause heart rhythm disturbances, researchers have found.

Vape is a device that uses a heating wire to evaporate e-liquid. The e-liquid contains propylene glycol, glycerin, essence and nicotine, etc. Except for nicotine, which is recognized as a highly toxic substance, all other substances are edible grade. Perhaps when everyone hears the dangers of vape, they will think that nicotine is the cause, because other substances in e-liquid are use-level, and the safety is guaranteed, but this is not the case.

Nicotine has been proven to be harmless to the human body in moderate amounts. This study is an authoritative study on tobacco. The use of vape is similar to that of cigarettes, in that the smoke is inhaled into the lungs by heating or burning, so the theory is As long as the nicotine content on the vape is up to standard, then the vape is also safe in terms of nicotine.

Research on the vape is growing steadily, but much remains unknown about the habit, including its potential long-term consequences. A new study from the University of South Florida examines the potential effects of inhaling the vaporized flavors used in these liquids. The flavor molecules entered the bloodstream and into the heart, where they were found to be toxic to HL-1 cells, at least in mice.

The hazards of vape come from ingredients that seem very safe, especially flavors. There seems to be a lot of information about the hazards of flavored e-liquids. There are many flavors used in flavored e-liquids, covering almost every taste you can think of. They Including our common fruits, desserts, beverages, flowers and mint, these flavors have a great seductive ability to young people, and it seems that it will be a long study to study the safety of many flavor varieties. To block this hazard, the easiest way is to directly block the production of flavored e-liquids, which should be the main reason why flavored e-liquids are banned by many countries.

Using heart cells derived from human stem cells, the study also found evidence that these flavored e-liquids may have stronger cardiotoxic effects than nicotine alone. Young mice exposed to vape five days a week for 10 weeks found that normal heart rate variability was disturbed.

Notably, vape-inhaled mice were more likely than control mice to develop ventricular tachycardia, an abnormal heartbeat that can be dangerous. However, the researchers point out that the study is preclinical, and more research is needed to know what effects these fragrances might have in humans, especially in the long-term.

It can be seen from the above research that only some flavored e-liquids may be harmful to the heart, so I hope that more authoritative departments can join the research on the harm of flavored e-liquids and list safe flavored e-liquids as soon as possible. Everyone uses it to appease the dissatisfaction of the majority of vape users.
