Smoking and the use of e-cigarettes while avoiding lung cancer are equated with smoking with regard to cardiorespiratory problems such as heart disease, asthma, pneumonia and COPD. proved to be the expected and most obvious result of a study from Boston, USA.
Thus as the aversion to smoking towards alternatives to it achieves lung cleansing and anti-infective lung health the risk of developing heart disease most of which are serious problems remains the same as with smoking.
Andrew Stokes of the University of Boston School of Public Health demonstrated the result by writing a study commissioned by the Centre for Tobacco Regulatory Sciences, adding: had a similar risk of cardiovascular disease only with cigarette smoking is an important finding as many Americans consume e-cigarettes in an effort to reduce smoking for what they perceive less risk. It is common for people to try to switch from traditional cigarettes to e-cigarettes and get trapped in a dead end using both products. Many smokers who try to use e-cigarettes for the traditional cessation of smoking continue to use both products, becoming dual users, where no reduction in cardiovascular risk has been observed. “We are concerned that any recommendation to use e-cigarettes to quit smoking may lead to increased dual use, as well as the introduction of e-cigarettes among young adults and those who have never smoked cigarettes.”
The study included a sample of 24,027 patients as smokers and vaporizers or both from 2013 to 2019 from whom nearly 1,500 self-reported cardiovascular incidents occurred.
